Australia’s 19-year-old opener Sam Konstas, who scored a half-century on his Test debut at the MCG during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, revealed a heartfelt post-match conversation with his idol, Virat Kohli. Despite an on-field shoulder bump that earned Kohli a demerit point, the Indian star wished Konstas well for his upcoming Sri Lanka tour. "I idolise him. Playing against legends like Kohli and Bumrah was surreal," Konstas shared. The debutant, amazed by the 90,000-strong crowd at MCG, is set to play Big Bash League matches under David Warner before heading to Sri Lanka for red-ball cricket on January 29.
