Sam Konstas said that he has a few plans in place to deal with the threat of the Jasprit Bumrah-led Indian bowling unit in the Melbourne Cricket Ground Test match, which will begin on December 26.
The teenage batting sensation Sam Konstas is one of the most exciting young players in the Australian cricket circuit. He has featured in 11 matches in first-class cricket and has scored 718 runs at an average of 42.33 with two tons and three fifties.
However, the selection committee preferred Nathan McSweeney over Konstas for the first three matches but the failure of the former led to him being dropped for the last two Tests.
I'm just going to react to the ball and show a bit of intent - Sam Konstas
If Konstas gets his debut Test cap at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, he would become Australia's youngest Test debutant since captain Pat Cummins, who was 18 years and 193 days old when he got his Baggy Green in 2011. Talking about this, the youngster said on Fox Cricket:
He also made it clear that he will take on the Indian bowlers with full intent and put pressure on them.

The 19-year-old further revealed that he was doing net practice when the chief selector informed him about his selection in the Test squad. He explained:
Konstas further revealed that McSweeney, who was devasted after his snub, congratulated him for his call-up.
"It's been an amazing journey. All the ups and down - very grateful for their sacrifices. They've been great support to me. Nathan McSweeney is a very good player in all three formats - he actually congratulated me this morning so we're very close mates. I wish him all the best," he said.
