NEW DELHI: When 19-year-old Sam Konstas took strike against Jasprit Bumrah on the opening day of the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the debutant was caught on camera muttering words to himself as the bowler steamed in. This habit persisted against every bowler, be it Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj, drawing curiosity from fans and commentators alike.
In a video posted by Channel 7, Konstas explained his unique self-talk during an interview at the end of the day’s play.
