Cricket is not just a sport; it’s a playground for camaraderie, laughter, and unforgettable moments shared between players, on and off the field. The Major League Cricket (MLC) 2023 playoffs recently witnessed one such delightful moment when the Texas Super Kings’ (TSK) all-rounder Dwayne Bravo became the subject of a friendly prank pulled off by none other than the charismatic spinner, Rashid Khan of MI New York (MINY).
Bravo and Rashid share a light-hearted moment
Known for their friendship off the field, Rashid Khan and Dwayne Bravo have been the epitome of sportsmanship and bonhomie. During a break in the intense MLC playoffs, Bravo was engrossed in a chat with his captain, Pollard, when Khan, seizing the perfect opportunity, decided to play a little trick on his friend.
With a mischievous glint in his eye, Khan stealthily crept up from behind Bravo, who was unaware of the impending hilarity. And just as the prankster struck, Bravo turned around to find his dear friend Rashid Khan right there, startling him with a playful scare! The moment was nothing short of heartwarming as the two T20 superstars then broke into a warm embrace, demonstrating the true spirit of the game.
Capturing the entire episode on camera, MINY’s social media team shared the laugh-out-loud-worthy clip on Twitter, setting off a wave of joy and laughter among fans. The camaraderie and friendship between these two cricketing stalwarts serve as a reminder that beyond the fierce competition on the pitch, there exists a bond that transcends boundaries and teams, forming a brotherhood of sportsmanship.
