NEW DELHI: Australian batting star Sam Konstas revealed that he has "no regrets" over the shoulder-bumping incident he had with India's top batsman Virat Kohli during the Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Konstas was chatting with 7News Melbourne, an Australian broadcaster.
The 19-year-old Konstas had a difficult time opening for Australia against a seasoned Indian pace attack in front of a sell-out crowd at the Boxing Day Test after being brought into the Australia team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in lieu of Nathan McSweeney.
