Why young gun Sam Konstas is now a 'lock' to open the batting for Sydney Thunder in Big Bash with David Warner Rising star Sam Konstas is now a 'lock' to keep plundering runs for the Sydney Thunder following a stunning Big Bash debut against the Adelaide Strikers in Canberra on Tuesday night.
Sam Konstas is now a 'lock' to keep plundering runs for the Sydney Thunder after a stunning Big Bash debut against the Adelaide Strikers (pictured, with captain David Warner).
The teenager now has 736 runs this summer across the Sheffield Shield, One-Day Cup, Australia A and BBL along with his 107 for the Prime Minister's XI (pictured, after his half century at Manuka Oval).
Despite his plethora of red-ball runs this summer, including centuries for NSW and the PM's XI against India, Konstas wasn't going to be the first choice opener for the Thunder.
Konstas smashed the fastest 50 in Thunder history - off just 20 balls - in what was an eye-catching performance.
