The law of averages caught up with Australia's opener Sam Konstas as early as the second innings of his Test career, when the teenager's stumps were rattled early on Day 4 of the fourth Test in Melbourne by Jasprit Bumrah -- the same bowler he had scooped for a six in his debut knock.
Australia took the remaining one wicket of the Indian innings quickly on Sunday morning to wrap up the visitors' first innings for 369 and take a healthy 105-run lead. India's centurion, Nitish Kumar Reddy, was the last wicket to fall, dismissed by Nathan Lyon for 114. The offspinner ended with three wickets (3 for 96), the same as pacers Pat Cummins (3 for 89) and Scott Boland (3 for 57).
