His thunder

Big Bash League: Australia teen star Sam Konstas has signed a four-year extension (inclusive of BBL 15) that will keep him at Sydney Thunder until at least the end of Big Bash League (BBL) 18, the club announced on Tuesday.

At just 19 years of age, Konstas already boasts a record-breaking Big Bash debut, an Under-19 World Cup winner’s medal, and a maiden Baggy Green earned during last summer’s Border-Gavaskar series.

His Thunder debut last summer was nothing short of spectacular, blasting 56 runs off 27 balls to set a new club record for the fastest half-century and become the youngest player in BBL history to reach the milestone.
