The right-hander played a knock of 60 runs off 65 deliveries. His innings was laced with 6 fours and 2 sixes until Ravindra Jadeja nutmegged him.

During the knock, Sam Konstas left no Indian bowler to smash. Bumrah, who has been a troublemaker for the Aussies in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, also conceded a few elegant strokes from the youngster.

In the second innings of the Melbourne Test match, Sam Konstas departed early with just eight runs in 18 balls which included 1 four.

Later, despite Bumrah's heroics with the ball, Team India suffered a loss by 184 runs in the fourth Test match against Australia. The Indian pacer claimed nine wickets in the Melbourne Test.

With this, Australia has taken a lead by 2-1 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The fifth and final Test match of the series will be played from January 3.

If Australia manages to secure the win in the final match, they will then regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time since 2014-15.
