Konstas Played A Style Of Cricket That Was New To India: Carey
Border Gavaskar Trophy: As the series heads to its final Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey has shed light on Test debutant Sam Konstas’ thrilling Melbourne exploits, saying the youngster played a style of cricket that was probably new to the Indian team.
At 19, Konstas was a surprise inclusion for the Melbourne Test, but he quickly justified his selection with a counterattacking half-century on day one. His fearless approach saw him take on pacer Jasprit Bumrah, scoring 33 runs off 34 balls during India’s premier pacer's pening spell. The highlight was an audacious series of ramp shots, including three boundaries in a single over.
"I was a spectator that first session; I probably had the emotions of the 90,000 that were there. At times I couldn’t watch it, at times I was cheering.” Caret told reporters on Wednesday.
