NEW DELHI: In a humorous incident, a fan’s enthusiasm to capture a photo with the rising Australian rising star, Sam Konstas, led to an unfortunate car accident.
The 19-year-old, who has recently gained prominence for his impressive performances against India in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, found himself at the centre of a viral video that captured the fan’s mishap.
The video shows the fan, in a visible hurry, exiting his vehicle and rushing towards Konstas, presumably to request a photograph.

However, in his excitement, the fan neglected to engage the handbrake, causing his car to slowly roll forward and eventually collide with another parked vehicle.

Despite the fan’s efforts to prevent the accident, the incident unfolded before his eyes as Konstas walked away, likely heading to the Sydney Thunder‘s practice session for an upcoming Big Bash League match.
Konstas has quickly established himself as a vital member of the Australian cricket team, particularly after his debut at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where he fearlessly took on the formidable Indian pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.
In the two matches against India, the right-handed batsman amassed 113 runs at an impressive strike rate of 81.88, showcasing his ability to counter Bumrah’s pace with authority, a feat that many of his teammates struggled to achieve.
As Konstas prepares for his next international assignment against Sri Lanka, it is unlikely that he will open the batting.
However, his recent performances have undoubtedly solidified his position within the Australian setup, and fans eagerly anticipate witnessing his continued growth and success on the cricket field, albeit with a cautionary tale about the potential hazards of overzealous fan encounters.
