New South Wales teenager Sam Konstas has sent a bolt of lightning through the Test series and rattled the Indian camp.

He made a near run-a-ball 60 to get the Aussie innings underway, before being caught LBW by Jadeja.

Jasprit Bumrah has looked untouchable across the first three Tests of this series and yet Konstas hit him for six twice, including three unbelievable ramp shots to the boundary.

It's the first time Bumrah has been hit for six in 25 Tests - four years.

He had the fiery Siraj chirping at him and even Virat Kohli wasn’t above a shoulder bump as the Indian stars struggled to comprehend what they were witnessing.

It was the third fastest fifty on Test debut for Australia, behind Adam Gilchrist and Ashton Agar.
