Sam Konstas, the 19-year-old Australian cricketer who gained notoriety during the recent Test series in India, is once again in the spotlight—this time for an unexpected off-field incident involving a fan.
A video circulating on social media, first shared by Herald Sun Sport, captures a comical moment where a fan’s eagerness to snap a photo with Konstas results in a minor mishap.
The footage shows the fan hastily exiting his vehicle and running towards Konstas for a photo, but in his excitement, he forgets to engage the handbrake. As a result, the car begins to roll forward, eventually colliding with another vehicle parked in front.
The fan, noticing the movement, quickly abandons his photo op to chase the runaway car. Unfortunately, his attempt to stop the vehicle fails, leaving him visibly flustered. The video ends with the fan patting his head in frustration, having missed both the photo and control of his vehicle.
The incident has sparked widespread amusement online, with many users joking about the lengths fans will go to meet their idols. Konstas, for his part, appeared unbothered by the mishap, maintaining his usual calm demeanor amidst the spectacle.
