With the second Qualifier of the tournament between MI New York and Texas Super Kings right around the corner, the stars have found a fun way to release some pressure ahead of the encounter.
MI New York’s star spinner Rashid Khan was recently captured pulling a hilarious prank on Texas Super Kings all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as he snuck up behind Bravo and jump-scared him.

The video of the moment has been doing the rounds all over social media. Taking to Twitter, MI New York shared the hilarious clip and wrote, “Legends in stature. Boys by nature.”
