Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis was recently spotted vacationing in New York, USA with his wife Stephanie Muller when a street photographer David Guerrero asked the couple to pose for a few pictures. With cricket still growing in popularity in the States, the photographer didn’t recognise Stoinis and asked him and his wife about where they are from.

After Stoinis responded to the question, David Guerrero proceeded to take pictures, first of the couple and then a few individual shots of the all-rounder and his wife. After sharing the video on August 4, the post went viral and then five days on August 9, Guerrero shared a few more pictures and tagged Marcus Stoinis with a caption, “This is why I enjoy what I do, you never know who you’ll come across.”
