S\ufeffam Konstas<\/a> has sent a timely reminder to Australian selectors, blasting a brilliant century for the Prime Minister's XI against India<\/a>on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The teenage sensation was in the mix for a Test spot before ultimately being overlooked in favour of South Australia's Nathan McSweeney for the vacant opener role.<\/p>\n

However, after a horror performance in the series opener at Optus Stadium, pressure is mounting on Australia's top order, with Konstas giving the decision-makers some food for thought after belting India's bowling attack<\/p>\n

India's quicks \ufefftore through the PM's XI top and middle-order bar Konstas' efforts.<\/p>\n

He reached triple figures off just 90 balls at Manuka Oval, facing the likes of Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj\ufeff with the pink ball.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old also produced one of the most incredible reverse ramp shots to dispatch Akash Deep to the boundary.<\/p>\n

Konstas was eventually dismissed on 107 runs from 97 balls after being caught by the sub off an Akash Deep delivery.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Matt Renshaw's hopes of an Aussie recall were dashed after being dismissed for 5, while the in-form Jayden Goodwin failed to fire and was out for 4.<\/p>\n

Ollie Davies and Sam Harper were both out for ducks as Rana showed his class, taking four wickets off the back of an impressive Test debut in Perth.<\/p>\n

Australia was all out for 240 runs after 43.2 overs with the tourists chasing under lights.<\/p>\n

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who missed the first Test because of personal reasons, was named to play as he eyes off a return in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

Mounting a successful run chase with 19 balls to spare, India won by 6 wickets. <\/p>\n

With six batters scoring over 20 runs a piece, only\ufeff Sharma faltered after being removed on 3 off 11. <\/p>\n

Shubman Gill and KL Rahul retired not out to give their teammates a run with the pink ball ahead of the second Test in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

The match was initially meant to be a two-day \ufefffixture before rain swept through Canberra and reduced it to a one-day tour game. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
