During a recent Big Bash League (BBL) match between Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes, a fan was spotted holding a poster that read "I can out-stare Andrew Tye." The young fan also appeared to stare at the camera while the commentators called what was going on camera. The scene then switched back to Andrew Tye, who was sitting in the dugout. Tye stared directly into the camera and waved his finger, indicating that he did not agree with the fan's claim. The commentators could be heard laughing in the background.

The incident, which took place during a tense moment in the match, provided some lighthearted entertainment for fans and viewers alike. Andrew Tye, known for his fierce competitiveness on the field, seemed to take the challenge in stride and used it as an opportunity to engage with fans and show his playful side.
