He’s Back! Sam Konstas Makes Century in a Session for Australia A

Sam Konstas scored 101 not out off 122 balls, forming a 198-run unbeaten partnership that boosted his Ashes selection prospects, against India A in an unofficial Test match.

  • Sam Konstas scored an unbeaten century for Australia A on the opening day of the 1st Unofficial Test against India A in Lucknow in 2025.
  • Konstas reached triple figures off 122 balls, including a six over long-on in the 35th over, while previously struggling with form during a bowler-friendly West Indies tour.
  • Australia A, captained by Nathan McSweeney, batted first and extended an unbroken 198-run partnership between Konstas and Campbell Kellaway by tea during a rain-delayed session.
  • Konstas was 101 not out at the tea break with Australia cruising at 0-126 in 26 overs, and he celebrated reaching three figures by removing his helmet after the six.
  • Konstas' commanding knock strengthened his case for selection in the Ashes Test starting November 21 in Perth, easing concerns after his earlier low scores in Test innings this year.
