The Melbourne Test witnessed the debut of 19-year-old Australian batter Sam Konstas, who immediately etched his name in the history books. In a fascinating twist, Konstas’ personal batting coach, Tahmid Islam, hails from Bangladesh—a unique connection that has drawn significant attention.

Konstas’ fearless batting against India’s ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah was a highlight of the match. Despite initial struggles, Konstas countered Bumrah’s fiery deliveries with innovative shots like scoops and reverse sweeps. He even achieved a remarkable feat by hitting Bumrah for a six—something no batter had managed in Tests since 2021, breaking a streak of 4,483 balls.

Batting in front of 77,000 spectators at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Konstas played a stunning knock of 60 runs off 65 balls, including four boundaries and two sixes. He also set the record for the fastest fifty by an opener in Tests, reaching the milestone in just 52 balls.

Tahmid Islam, a former first-class cricketer from Bangladesh, played a pivotal role in preparing Konstas for the Test. Tahmid has been working with Konstas since his school days at Cranbrook School in Sydney. His contribution extends to technical guidance, while Australian great Shane Watson mentors Konstas on the mental aspects of the game.

“I do a lot of technical work with him, and then Shane helps him through the mental side of his game, which is fantastic. It’s been a great journey with the three of us. Shane was amazing to him in taking on a mentoring role and helped him a lot in the mental space and technical space too, to be fair. It’s been a fantastic journey,” Tahmid said as quoted by The Age.

Tahmid’s growing reputation is underscored by his recent achievements in Australian domestic cricket. Earlier this year, he was awarded the Gerard Price Medal as the Best First-Grade Player, having taken 53 wickets at an average of 11.08 and scored 152 runs in a season.

Konstas’ remarkable performances in domestic cricket and the Prime Minister's XI game against India paved the way for his debut. The 19-year-old impressed selectors with a century in the warm-up match, which became a turning point in his career.

In 11 first-class matches, the New South Wales batter has scored 718 runs, including three half-centuries, showcasing his potential to become a star for Australia.

Tahmid Islam and Shane Watson also worked together earlier this year in Major League Cricket (MLC) with the San Francisco Unicorns. This unique combination of coaching expertise has clearly benefited Konstas, who now looks forward to making his mark in international cricket.
