Hardly anyone would have thought that Sam Constance would destroy the Indian bowlers in his debut match. In his first international match for Australia, he scored 60 runs in 65 balls and also achieved the feat of hitting a six off Jasprit Bumrah. But the most memorable incident of the first session of the Boxing Day Test was when Virat Kohli and Sam Constance faced each other. The atmosphere became so heated that the umpire had to come to the rescue. Now after being out, Constance has described Virat Kohli as her favorite cricketer in an interview.
Scored a half century in the debut match
Certainly the debut match made Sam Constance a big star in Australia. After playing a stormy inning of 60 runs, he was seen giving autographs to the fans. In an interview given to an Australian media channel, he described Virat Kohli as his favorite cricketer and said that whatever Kohli does is incredible.
Consta’s favorite player is Virat
Sam Constas was asked who is his favorite cricketer. In response he said, “Whatever Virat Kohli does is brilliant.” What was different was that Virat Kohli welcomed him aggressively on the field. After the controversy on the field, Constance said, “This is what happens in cricket. Emotions overcame both of us.”
Jadeja dismissed Constas
From Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Siraj and even Akashdeep looked helpless in front of Sam Constance. By the time he completed his half-century, he had hit 5 fours and one six. Ravindra Jadeja finally came to bowl in the 20th over and Kontas’ stormy innings ended on the score of 60 runs on the second ball of the over. He gave a good start to Australia by making a partnership of 89 runs with Usman Khawaja.
