I've got a few plans against Indian bowlers: Sam Konstas

Teenage sensation Sam Konstas eager to debut in Boxing Day Test against India, ready to challenge bowlers.
Young Australian opener Sam Konstas cannot wait to take on the Indian bowlers in the Boxing Day Test and says he already has a "few plans" for Jasprit Bumarh and Co if he gets the nod in the fourth game of the Border-Gavaskar series here.
Teenage sensation Konstas was handed a maiden call-up as Australia dropped rookie opener Nathan McSweeney for the final two Tests against India.
Konstas' inclusion follows a series of disappointing performances from the Australian top-order in the first three Tests, especially McSweeney.
"I've got a few plans against those (Indian) bowlers. Feeling like I'm moving really nice and hopefully I get that opportunity," Konstas told Fox Cricket.
"I'm just going to react to the ball and show a bit of intent and put a bit of pressure back on the bowlers," he added.
If Konstas, who turned 19 on October 2, is selected in the playing XI for the Boxing Day Test, he would become Australia's youngest Test debutant since captain Pat Cummins, who was 18 years and 193 days old when he made his debut against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2011.
"It will be a huge honour debuting. A dream come true. I think it's a sellout already (at the MCG)," he said.
