An eager cricket fan's attempt to meet Australian star Sam Konstas backfires hilariously when his car rolls into a parked vehicle. The incident highlights Konstas' rising status in Australian cricket and his upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.

An opportunistic cricket fan's attempt to meet Australian Test and Sydney Thunder BBL opener, Sam Konstas , ended in comical disaster. In footage posted by the Thunder, Konstas arrives at training on Wednesday when a man spots him wheeling his cricket bag into the facility. Eager for a photo, autograph, or even just a hello, the man quickly backs into a disabled carpark and bursts out of his car.

As he runs towards Konstas, who by then had walked out of shot, there was a problem: his car wasn't idle yet. Whether he left the car in neutral and forgot to put the handbrake on or had a malfunction, it didn't matter. The car started rolling forward towards a Mitsubishi Lancer parked directly opposite. Realizing only when he was about 10 meters away, the man turned around in a panic, almost tripping over his own feet as he rushed back. His car was rolling towards the Lancer and had crashed into it by the time he got to the door. This hilarious incident, captured on camera, was shared online and quickly went viral. Many commented on the man's desperation and poor parking choices. The incident is amusing fodder for fans, but it highlights the often-intense interest surrounding Konstas, a rising star in Australian cricket. He made his debut in a fiery Boxing Day Test against India last month, during which Virat Kohli shoulder-charged him in an ugly incident. Konstas later made headlines when he got into an exchange with Jasprit Bumrah. Although he admits his emotions got the better of him during his first Test series, the batting prodigy is confident he'll continue to perform well on the tour of Sri Lanka. Konstas has yet to hear from selectors about their plans for the two-Test series that begins on January 29. Travis Head is a possibility to open after a successful stint at the top during Australia’s last subcontinent tour. Usman Khawaja's strong record against spin and his gutsy 41 runs in the series-deciding run chase against India will also be considered. Konstas's impressive performance in his first two Test appearances, opening alongside Khawaja in victories against India at the MCG and SCG, has him poised for further success.
