Delhi: The Australian team has made changes in its team for the next two test matches against India. Nathan McSwany, who opened in three matches, has been dropped and 19-year-old Sam Konstas has been included in the team. Konstas is almost certain to play in the Boxing-Day Test match, which starts on 26 December. This young batsman will face the new ball against a big bowler like Jasprit Bumrah. However, Konstas is not nervous about this and has made full preparations to play against Bumrah.

The plan is against Bumrah
Constas confidently said in the press conference that he has a plan for Bumrah, but he does not want to reveal it to anyone. He said, “I am a batsman who likes to put pressure on the bowlers. Bumrah is one of the best bowlers in the world, but I respect all good bowlers.” Konstas described Shane Watson as his idol and said that he would try to put pressure on the bowlers, as Watson used to do.
I'll do what I've always done
Kontas' debut at MCG is confirmed. However, he does not consider it special and sees it as an ordinary day. He said, “For me it is like a normal day, although a little special because my parents are coming. I'll just do what I've always done.”
The series is tied at 1-1
This five-match series of Border-Gavaskar Trophy is now tied at 1-1 after three matches. The third match is very important for both the teams. For India, this match is important in terms of ICC World Test Championship, whereas for Australia, this match is very important in terms of their cricket tradition and reputation. The Boxing Day Test is a traditional match for Australia and winning it is important for their prestige.
