Day 1 of the MCG Test match between India and Australia was filled in with a lot of emotions and we witnessed some brilliant cricket by both sets of teams. From a fiery fifty from Sam Konstas to Jasprit Bumrah's magical spell, the day had it all.
Australia opted to bat first after winning the toss and for the first time in 4 Tests, the opening pair gave a solid start with debutant Konstas hogging the limelight. He scored a brisk half-century and was also involved in an heated altercation with Virat Kohli as he made a name for himself.
After the teenager made his mark, the experienced duo of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith scored their respective half-centuries as the team marched towards a big first innings total.
However, the man from India, Bumrah brought his side back in the contest as he sparked a comeback with three quick wickets, including that off Travis Head for a duck. At the end of the day, the Aussies were 311/6, with Smith unbeaten at 68.
