That wasn't all. In the 11th over, Konstas topped his previous assault on Bumrah, bludgeoning 19 off the India quick, hitting two fours and a six to go with a double. The two overs meant that Konstas' 34 runs off 33 balls faced by Bumrah are the most any batter has scored off him in Tests, going past 25 off 40 by Alastair Cook in 2018.

Sam Konstas was interacting with the crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during India's first innings in his own way. After knocking him over in the second innings, Bumrah impersonated Konstas.

Konstas' brother Billy, who is a physiotherapist by profession, revealed how his father's error eventually helped his younger brother learn tackling pace bowling from an early age. "We were little kids and the first time dad took us to a bowling machine, he had it on 90 miles an hour, thinking it was 90 kilometres," Billy told Fox Cricket.
