Rashid Khan, the top spinner for MI New York (MINY), garnered attention on social media for his pre-match antics prior to the knockout match versus Texas Super Kings in MLC 2023. The Afghanistan star player then played a terrific practical joke on Dwayne Bravo. Notably, both athletes have incredible chemistry together on the field.
It happened when Bravo was talking to the MI New York's skipper, Kieron Pollard. Meanwhile, Rashid decided to come from Bravo’s backside and tried to scare him. Subsequently, both the stars hugged each other. Following this, the social media member of MI New York also said "Hey DJ, we got you" to Bravo.
The video of this amazing moment involving two cricketing stars is now making rounds on social media as soon as it was shared by MI New York from their official Twitter handle.
“Legends in stature. Boys by nature. #OneFamily #MINewYork #MajorLeagueCricket #wafvminy,” read the caption of the video tweet posted by MINY.
