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 Prime Minister 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.

A win for India and a 2-2 draw would allow the tourists to retain the trophy and emerge with the spoils for a record-extending fifth straight.

Konstas rattled India in his first innings in the Boxing Day Test, plundering just 52 balls for a half-century after some fantastic ramp shots and daring strokes as he saw off the world-class bowling attack, including superstar pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

Aussie cricket stars and pundits including West Indies great Ian Bishop hailed the innings as one of the greatest debuts they have ever seen – with one fan even calling for his image to be added to the country’s currency.

The plucky teenager didn’t flinch when Virat Kohli’s shoulder slammed into him – and he spent the next few days of the Test match posing for photos with fans and doing his best to cheer up the MCG crowd.

On Wednesday, Konstas was the odd one out to meet the Prime Minister, the only member of the team, wearing a pair of green sneakers while everyone else wore dress shoes.

Mr Albanese shared a photo of himself with the team on social media and eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the teenager’s fashion faux pas.

“I really like the whole Aus team wearing nice dress boots and then Konstas rocking green adidas sambas,” one fan wrote to X.

“That photo really sums up our team, doesn’t it? Everyone is wearing dress shoes, except Konstas, who is wearing sambas,” wrote another.

Fellow Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne is a big fan of Konstas’ attitude and told the media last week that he loves his confidence.

‘That first innings, watching Sam Bat and the way he did it, I sat there with Steve (Smith) and said, “We really need to look at how we go about it because this looks a lot more fun”.

‘It probably just made me think about what my best method is, rather than thinking about the technique. It was just more tactical: ‘Okay, how am I going to find a way through this? How am I going to score points?’ “‘

Australia are wary of a revival of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Sydney, with Alex Carey warning none of India’s oldest players can be written off.

The Indians were given a day off on Wednesday, meaning their only practice between Melbourne and Sydney on Thursday will be an optional one.

Friday’s fifth Test looks doubly crucial for India, with a win needed to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and keep their World Test Championship hopes alive.

But it is also important for Rohit’s future.

His form has been so poor this summer that there are real question marks over whether the India captain will even be in the SCG team.

The right-hander has not passed 10 in any of his five innings this series, with the string of failures also coming from a poor performance against New Zealand.

It would be a bold call from India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar to push for the 37-year-old player in Sydney given Rohit’s status as captain.

But his batting has become a problem, especially with Shubman Gill on the sidelines in Melbourne.

Kohli is also having a bad run; his unbeaten 100 in the second innings in Perth now stands alongside scores of 5, 7, 11, 3, 36 and 5.

In all six of Kohli’s dismissals, he hit balls outside off stump, while Rohit fell victim to his opponent, captain Pat Cummins, in four of his five innings.

But Carey said it would be wrong to suggest the Australian bowlers have a mental advantage over the pair.

“I don’t think I can put it that way,” Carey said.

‘You could also make that argument for a Steve Smith or a Marnus (Labuschagne) against Bumrah early on.

“Champions of the game find ways to come out and perform, and they are champions. We must be alert not to allow them into the series anymore.’
