Sam Konstas’ sweet gesture after fan’s viral car debacle

·

Rising cricket sensation Sam Konstas has promised signed memorabilia to a fan who accidentally crashed his car while trying to meet him. The incident was captured in a now-viral security video uploaded by Konstas’ Big Bash League team, the Sydney Thunder.

The footage, titled “The Konstas Effect,” shows the fan rushing after Konstas, only to realise he hadn’t engaged the handbrake. In his haste, he slips and crashes his car into another vehicle. The video has since racked up millions of views.

Konstas, who was unaware of the chase at the time, responded to the viral clip, saying, “I didn’t even know [he was chasing me]. It wasn’t funny, but hopefully he’s all good.” He added that he hoped to meet the fan and sign some items before flying out for a training camp in the UAE ahead of Australia’s Test tour of Sri Lanka.

The video highlights Konstas’ meteoric rise from grade cricket to cricket megastar in just a few months.

The 19-year-old has made an impression with twin centuries for NSW, a Test debut during Australia’s series win over India, and a prominent role at the Sydney Thunder alongside David Warner.
