Ravi Shastri On Sam Konstas: The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia is being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. On the first day, Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat. Sam Konstas made his debut for Australia. Sam Konstas came out to bat as an opener. This player played an innings of 60 runs in 65 balls. He hit 6 fours and 2 sixes in his innings. After this brilliant innings, Sam Konstas was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja. However, now former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri has given a big statement on Sam Konstas.
‘Sam Constas and Virender Sehwag have a lot in common…’
Ravi Shastri has compared Sam Konstans to former Indian legend Virender Sehwag. Ravi Shastri believes that the way Sam Konstans’s bat swings is very similar to that of Virender Sehwag. Ravi Shastri said that I don’t think any batsman has batted against Jasprit Bumrah the way Sam Konstans did. The way Sam Konstas batted is commendable. However, the Indian bowlers definitely got opportunities in the beginning of Sam Konstas’s innings, but failed to capitalize. After this, Sam Konstas did not give many chances to the Indian bowlers.
‘Sam Konstas was given license to…’
Apart from this, former Australian cricketer Justin Langer praised Sam Konstas a lot. Justin Langer said that Sam Konstas was given license to bat aggressively against Jasprit Bumrah. Although, it was not easy, but this young batsman did it. Leave aside Test cricket, Jasprit Bumrah’s economy in T20 format is excellent. Batting against this bowler is not easy, but this young player showed bravery. It is a great feeling to see this young batsman bat.
