Sam Constas hit this amazing shot on the 23rd ball of his first innings, which created excitement in the audience.

This feat was done against Bumrah

He hit two sixes in this match. He hit both these sixes against Jasprit Bumrah and became the second player in the world to hit two sixes to Bumrah in the history of Test cricket. Before him, only Jos Buttler had achieved such a feat. Apart from this, he hit a total of 6 boundaries against Bumrah. Which is the second best performance by any batsman against Bumrah in an innings of Test cricket. Whereas Sam Constas scored the fourth most runs against Jasprit Bumrah in an innings in Test.

Former captain Ricky Ponting, who was commentating, said jokingly, “Maybe Constance had decided that Bumrah had to play reverse shots only.” Constas' aggressive style continued to challenge the Indian bowlers.

Constas targeted Indian bowlers

In the initial overs, Jasprit Bumrah troubled Constas and even hit the edge of his bat several times, but the young batsman showed fearlessness and sent Bumrah's balls across the boundary. In the seventh over, he put pressure on the Indian bowling attack by hitting two consecutive fours. Due to Constance's aggressive innings, Rohit Sharma had to hand the ball to Ravindra Jadeja and this plan proved effective. Jadeja dismissed Constas on the second ball of the 19th over by trapping him in spin. Sam Constance scored 60 runs in 65 balls at a strike rate of 92.20, which included 6 fours and 2 sixes, in the first innings of his debut Test.
