WATCH: New York street photographer stops Marcus Stoinis and his girlfriend Sarah for pictures; fails to recognize Aussie cricketer

Australia’s star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis recently found himself in an amusing and unexpected situation during a stroll with his girlfriend Sarah Czarnuch, on the bustling streets of New York City. The incident took place when a street photographer stopped the adorable couple for an impromptu photoshoot, unaware of their celebrity status.

It is worth mentioning that Stoinis is taking a well-deserved rest and has been enjoying quality time in the vibrant metropolis with his partner, Sarah. The Aussie cricketer had a busy outing in the inaugural Major League Cricket (MLC) for San Francisco Unicorns (SFU) franchise last month and decided to stay back in the USA for a vacation after the tournament’s conclusion. A video from Stoinis’ off time with his girlfriend in New York has now set social media abuzz.

Stoinis and Sarah bump into a street photographer in New York:

In the viral clip, the couple can be seen walking through the streets of New York until a street photographer David Guerrero stops them for portraits. Guerrero is renowned for his distinctive style of candid street photography and engages with random passersby, offering them an unexpected photoshoot experience.

After being stopped by Guerrero, Stoinis and Sarah enthusiastically embraced the spontaneous encounter and readily posed for his camera. However, the photographer was unaware of his subjects and didn’t know Stoinis was a celebrated Australian cricketer. Oblivious to their true identities, Guerrero struck up a casual conversation, innocently inquiring about their origins. The video footage of the same charming interaction soon attracted huge attention from fans worldwide after being posted on the social media platforms.

The clip quickly went viral, triggering a wave of excitement within the cricketing community. Enthusiasts flooded the comments section with messages, eager to enlighten the photographer about the true identity of his subjects.
