Australian cricket's next big hope, Sam Konstas, is eagerly anticipating a chance to face India's formidable bowlers during the Boxing Day Test. With plans already in mind for tackling the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, the young opener could be a game-changing addition to the team.

Handed a debut call-up after a series of underwhelming displays by the previous top-order, Konstas is ready to bring fresh energy and skill to the lineup. His confidence and strategy could help turn the tide in Australia's favor after a challenging series so far.

Konstas, 19, who could become the country's youngest Test debutant since captain Pat Cummins, described the opportunity as a 'dream come true.' Emotional but focused, Konstas shared his happiness with family and received congratulations from the player he replaced, Nathan McSweeney.
