Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test saw a riveting contest between bat and ball. Teen debutant Sam Konstas stunned India's bowling attack, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, with an aggressive 60 off 65 balls, including innovative strokes like reverse scoops and lofted drives. His fearless innings gave Australia a strong start, allowing Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne to consolidate.
India's bowlers, including Bumrah and Siraj, initially struggled but found rhythm post-lunch. Bumrah’s late-day brilliance with the old ball claimed three quick wickets, including Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, to shift the momentum back in India's favor.
Steve Smith’s composed 50 and his partnership with Alex Carey helped Australia rebuild after the middle-order collapse. Akash Deep struck with the second new ball, removing Carey and capping a dramatic final session.
Australia ended the day in a strong position with a score exceeding 300, but Day 2’s first hour with a fresh ball will be crucial for both teams. Bumrah remains India’s key to breaking through Australia’s lineup, while Smith looks set to push the hosts further into a dominant position.
Key Moments:
Sam Konstas’ Debut Heroics: A blistering 60 off 65 balls set the tone for Australia.
Bumrah’s Comeback: A late-session spell turned the game on its head.
Smith Steadies the Ship: A vital half-century kept Australia in control.
The stage is set for an intriguing second day at the MCG.
