    Australian teenager Sam Konstas is having one of the most incredible debut cricket tests in history in the Boxing Day showdown against India in Melbourne

    Australian teenager Sam Konstas is having one of the most incredible debut cricket tests in history in the Boxing Day showdown against India in Melbourne


    After a shaky start the youngster has unveiled audacious shots and rattled up runs...leading Virat Kohli to instigate a mid-pitch shoulder bump that had the MCG ground and Sky commentators in a frenzy.



    Konstas appeared fired up by the collision...racing to a half century as the crowd roared.



    Konstas has been chilled enough to have a mid-session chat with the Sky commentators and says the incident with Virat Kohli hasn't affected him.



    The 19-year-old went on to say he's just soaking up the atmosphere in front of a massive crowd of more than 90 thousand.



    After 17 overs Australia has raced to 83 without loss, with Konstas unbeaten on 55.
