    Told Kohli, 'I Idolise Him': Konstas Reveals Chat With India Star After Shoulder-bump Incident

    Boxing Day Test: Australian teenage sensation Sam Konstas has discussed the confrontations he had with Indian stars Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah during the Border-Gavaskar series, while also sharing details about a chat with Kohli following the shoulder-bump incident in the Boxing Day Test, saying he told the Indian star that he "idolises him."

    Konstas made his Australia Test debut in the Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, replacing Nathan McSweeney, and scored 60 off 65 balls, scooping Jasprit Bumrah for fun in the early passage of play, leaving everyone enthralled. Though Bumrah took him out in the second innings, Konstas has left everyone in Australia excited about the player he can be in the future.

    "It was my first time playing in front of 90,000 people on day one at the MCG, and I was like, ‘holy crap, this is surreal. Playing against legends of the game like Kohli and Bumrah and playing with legends like Steve Smith and Pat Cummins, it is what I’ve dreamt of as a kid and I was just trying to soak up every second of it really. I’m very fortunate as a 19-year-old to be getting that experience and learning from the best," Konstas told CODE Sports.
