In Bumrah’s over, not one or two, but 3 scoops and reverse scoops, 32 runs in 2 overs… 19 year old batsman increased his heartbeats.

New Delhi. Sam Costans made his debut for Australia in the fourth test match against India. 19-year-old Costas also played the first ball of the match in his first Test, which was bowled by the most successful bowler of the series, Jasprit Bumrah. Sam Costas played a maiden in the first over. But the way he played after this forced the former commentators to laugh in the commentary box. The heartbeats of common cricket fans increased.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled most of the balls out swinging in his first over. Sam Constas was beaten thrice, but did not lose the wicket. As soon as this maiden over ended, the stadium echoed with thunderous applause. But this applause was not for Bumrah, but for Constas, who did not give a wicket to the dangerous Boom-Boom.

After this, Sam Costas tried to play reverse scoop in the third and fifth overs of Jasprit Bumrah. They failed but it revealed their intentions. There was discussion in the commentary box whether this was a brave attempt or a stupid one. Most said it was a hasty effort. But what Constas did in Bumrah’s fourth and seventh overs of the innings became history.

Costas scooped the first ball of Bumrah’s fourth over. The ball went beyond the fine leg boundary. In this way, he scored a four by playing a strange or rather creative shot. Costas hit a six with a reverse scoop on the very next ball. He did not stop here and again hit a reverse scoop on the fifth ball of the over. This time he got a four.

In this way, Kostance became the first batsman in the world to score 14 runs with scoop and reverse scoop in the same over of Jasprit Bumrah. Seeing such batting of Costas, India had to reduce one slip and send KL Rahul to the third man boundary. This is perhaps the first time in the series when India had to use such defensive fielding. It seemed as if Costas had come thinking that he had to spoil Bumrah’s linelength. He gave away 18 runs in the sixth over of Bumrah. In this over, he hit fours in straight drive, midwicket and thirdman area.
