Can you spot the small detail in this photo of cricket stars with Albo that proves Sam Konstas is a rebel off the field as well as on it?

Australian PM Anthony Albanese hosted the Australian and Indian Cricket teams ahead of the fifth Test in Sydney - and teenage sensation Sam Konstas showed another glimpse of his rebellious nature. The Aussies will regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy for the first time since 2014-15 if they win or draw the New Year's Test at the SCG.

Victory for India and a series drawn 2-2 would allow the tourists to retain the trophy, emerging with the spoils for a record-extending fifth-straight time. Konstas rattled India during his first innings in the Boxing Day Test, plundering a half-century from just 52 balls following some amazing ramp shots and bold striking as he thrashed the world-class bowling attack, including superstar quick Jasprit Bumrah.

Aussie cricket tragics and experts, including West Indian great Ian Bishop, hailed the innings as one of the greatest debuts they've seen - with one fan even calling for his image to be added to the nation's currency. The plucky teenager didn't flinch when Virat Kohli slammed his shoulder into him - and he spent the following days of the Test match posing for photos with fans and trying his best to rev up the MCG crowd.
Sam Konstas raised some eyebrows with his choice of footwear as he and the rest of the Australian team met Anthony Albanese. Konstas's spectacular half-century of just 52 balls set the tone for the first innings at the MCG. On Wednesday, Konstas was the odd man out meeting the PM being the only member of the team by wearing a pair of green sneakers while everybody else was wearing dress shoes.
