Shadab Khan, the Pakistan cricketer is currently playing for Pakistan in the T20I series against New Zealand. He failed in the opening game, but did decently in the second match where he hit 26 off 14 balls which included two fours and two sixes.
Shadab Khan Teases Little Kid With A Merciless Act
However, he could not do much in the second half of the innings and bowled just one over. He did manage to catch the attention though with his cheeky act with a little kid. It was in the second over of New Zealand's innings and Finn Allen slammed it over deep extra-cover against Mohammad Ali which was indication of New Zealand's approach in yet another successful run-chase.
The ball went near the advertising board and Shadab Khan who ran all the way to collect the ball, played a little trick with a kid near the boundary line. He was asking for a ball, and Shadab Khan very cleverly went near him, stretched his arm towards the kid. It looked like he was giving the ball to the boy, but as soon as he tried to take it, Shadab Khan took back his hand and threw the ball to the playing area.
It was quite a brutal trick against an innocent kid, and it must have been a big heartbreak for a little boy. However, on the field, things did not go Shadab Khan's way, and he even dropped a catch. Eventually, a young and inexperienced New Zealand team beat them comprehensively by five wickets and Pakistan would have to win the next game to keep themselves alive in the five-match series.
