Australian debutant Sam Konstas delivered a memorable performance in the Boxing Day Test match. The right-handed batter scored a rapid fifty against India's world-class bowling attack at the MCG. He used ramps, scoops, and slogs to dominate, reaching his maiden Test half-century in just 52 deliveries.
The scoring tempo slowed down after Sam Konstas' dismissal. Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne then formed a cautious 65-run partnership for the second wicket. Mohammed Siraj switched the bails at the striker's end between deliveries as India was becoming desperate to take the wicket.
Marnus, Look at That - Mohammed Siraj
Labuschagne knew he had lost the battle last time when Mohammed Siraj played this trick in the last match. Siraj jokingly said, "Marnus, look at that," but Labuschagne ignored it and kept walking. The superstition seemed to work in India’s favor as Usman Khawaja was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah two overs later.
