The 19-year-old Konstas played an entertaining knock of 60 off 65, taking on the Indian attack with his adventurous shots.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Aussie teen attempted ramp shots against Bumrah in the seventh over of the innings and they went four, six and four. The Indian ace hadn\u2019t been hit for six in his previous 25 Tests over the past four years before Konstas did it twice at the MCG on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It\u2019s quite surreal, look at the turnout, I\u2019m just trying to play with some freedom and back myself and hopefully I can get a few more,\u201d Konstas said to Fox Cricket during drinks break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
When asked if his ramps against Bumrah were premeditated and if things were getting heated in between balls, he added, \"When the ball was coming down. I\u2019ll look to keep targeting him and hopefully he might come back on but we\u2019ll see what happens.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Konstas\u2019 maiden half-century on debut \u2014 from just 52 balls \u2014 was the third-fastest in Australian Test history, behind only Adam Gilchrist and Ashton Agar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He added 89 runs for the first wicket with Usman Khawaja before he was sent packing by Ravindra Jadeja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
