    What's the story

    Promising Australian cricketer Sam Konstas said he wants to take on Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah.

    This comes after Konstas's brilliant show in a pink-ball warm-up match in Canberra.

    The 19-year-old opener showed his prowess against Indian seamers Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep, but didn't get to face Bumrah who was missing from the match.

    Konstas smoked a brilliant hundred in the game.

    Player perspective

    Konstas's admiration for Bumrah and confidence in his game

    Konstas also expressed his admiration for Bumrah and confidence in his own abilities.

    "Bumrah is a skillful player, obviously, and probably the best in the world. Hopefully, one day I can face him and see how we go," he said after the match.

    The young cricketer further added that he feels confident about his game after training hard and sees it as a great opportunity to play against top players.

    Career progression

    Konstas's rise to prominence and unorthodox batting style

    Konstas first came into the limelight as part of the 2024 U-19 World Cup winning team and had a brilliant start to his Sheffield Shield career for New South Wales.

    Although he was in contention for a spot in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he lost out to Nathan McSweeney.

    In his innings against India, Konstas shocked everyone with some unorthodox reverse ramp shots that were executed to perfection.

    Mentorship

    Konstas credits Tim Paine for his aggressive batting approach

    Konstas credited former Australian captain Tim Paine for his aggressive batting approach.

    He revealed that he has been practicing the reverse ramp shots with Paine, who encouraged him to maintain a positive intent and treat the practice match like a 46-over game.

    Konstas's strategy paid off as he scored an impressive 107 runs off just 97 balls at a strike rate of over 110, including 14 fours and one six.
