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.
