After completing a stunning Boxing Day Test win against India late on day five, Australia have just three days off before the series finale begins at the SCG. Konstas rattled India during his first innings, plundering a half-century from just 52 balls following some amazing ramp shots and bold striking as he thrashed the world-class bowling attack, including superstar quick Jasprit Bumrah.

Aussie cricket tragics and experts, including West Indian great Ian Bishop, hailed the innings as one of the greatest debuts they've seen - with one fan even calling for his image to be added to the nation's currency. The plucky teenager didn't flinch when Virat Kohli slammed his shoulder into him - and he spent the following days of the Test match posing for photos with fans and trying his best to rev up the MCG crowd.
