Jasprit Bumrah On Sam Konstas: The fourth Test between India and Australia is being played at the Melbourne ground. In this match, the Australian team batted first and scored 474 runs. 19-year-old Sam Konstas, making his debut for Australia, played a strong innings, hitting 2 sixes off the lethal bowler Jasprit Bumrah. He scored 60 runs off 65 balls. This marked the first time in three years in Test cricket that a batsman had hit a six off Bumrah’s delivery. Now, the champion bowler Bumrah has stated that he never felt disconnected from the wicket.
The Indian Speedstar in a conversation with an Australian channel, shared his thoughts: “I don’t look at things that way. I am bowling well and the results have been in my favour, but I’ve bowled better in different places. Cricket is like that – sometimes you take wickets, sometimes you don’t even after bowling well. It all balances out. I have played T20 cricket for over 12 years and gained a lot of experience.”
Honest Thought
Sam Konstas actually has not dominated Jasprit Bumrah. He took a gamble to play aggressively against him . He succeeded. In won’t help him much in coming time. Please save the tweet for future references.#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/HKKVxdUWrS
Bumrah Talks About Konstas and Cricket’s Unpredictability
Bumrah, who has taken 24 wickets in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, discussed Australian debutant Sam Konstas, calling him an interesting batter. “I didn’t feel I was away from the wicket,” he said. “Initially, I felt I could have gotten him out six or seven times in the first two overs, but that’s how cricket works. Sometimes you take wickets, and when you don’t, people criticize the same individual. I enjoy facing new challenges.”
You cannot do that Sam Konstas!!
After two failed attempts, he successfully reverse-scoops Bumrah for three boundaries in the 7th over!
The six in that over was the first off Jasprit Bumrah in Tests since Cameron Green in Sydney in 2021. Overall, only the eighth six hit off… pic.twitter.com/CRHErDybTO
Bumrah on Test Cricket in Australia: “The Challenges Make You a Better Cricketer”
Bumrah made his Test debut in Australia in 2018 and his ODI debut in 2016. Reflecting on his experience, he said, “I have always performed my best in Australia. The challenges here are tough because the wickets are flat, and while the new ball offers some help with Kookaburra, it doesn’t later. This tests your accuracy, and the weather challenges your fitness and patience. Once you overcome these obstacles, you grow as a better cricketer.”
