Was not expecting this! #konstas #boxingdaytest

How about this impressive, audacious #Konstas kid?

Just magic… walked out at the #BoxingDayTest and started ramping Bumrah, shoulder bumping Kohli and owning India in this first session of play ON DEBUT!

50 runs from 52 balls. OUTRAGEOUS!

Test cricket is fun to watch again! 🏏🙌🏼
