According to a report in The Sydney Morning Herald, Albanese also had some words for India\u2019s fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who has taken 30 wickets from four matches in the series so far. \u201cWe could pass a law here that says he has to bowl left-handed or off one step. Every time he has come onto bowl has been very exciting,\" he said in the 90-minute function.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The report said Sam Konstas, Australia\u2019s latest entrant into Test cricket who lit up the MCG with 60 on debut in first innings, got a picture with his childhood hero Virat Kohli, who was in a shoulder collision with him, which led to the veteran getting a 20 per cent fine and a demerit point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His parents, who were present in the function, also asked for a picture with Bumrah. \u201cOf course, he got his break in the Prime Minister\u2019s XI (game, where Konstas scored a hundred). I'm claiming some of the credit, which is about my only contribution to national cricket,\" added Albanese.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The report claimed India skipper Rohit Sharma was to address the guests, but head coach Gautam Gambhir spoke, without going into details of the ongoing series. \"Australia is a beautiful country to travel but a tough place to tour. Crowds have been absolutely amazing. We\u2019ve got another Test match to go. Hopefully we can entertain the crowd,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
