Rashid Khan has continued to stun the cricketing world with his brilliant leg-spin bowling as he bowled 18 dot balls in the game against Mumbai Indians (MI). He conceded only 13 runs in his four-over spell and was also awarded the Man of the Match for his efforts. Rashid was retained using Right to Match (RTM) by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the auction and he hasn’t disappointed so far. However, the leggie is now challenged by Danielle Wyatt who wants to smash him for a six whenever he bowls to her.

Danielle Wyatt was currently in India with England Women to take part in T20I tri-series and three-match ODI series. She is normally active on social media and is always trending for her admiration towards the Indian captain Virat Kohli. She had asked if Kohli can marry her when India had toured England back in 2014 and the Indian cricketer had gifted his bat to her. Recently, she smashed a century in a T20 International with the same bat and was again trending for the same reason.

Candid conversation

The official Twitter handle of Sunrisers of Hyderabad (SRH) congratulated Rashid Khan after winning the Man of the Match award last night. Wyatt, however, replied to that post and praised the leggie from Afghanistan which read, “Well bowled the wizard!” This is where the funny conversation began as Rashid took a cheeky dig at her by challenging the opening batter of England. He told her to be ready when he will come to bowl her in Sussex.

“Be ready will bowle to you in Sussexx,” the 19-year-old responded. However, Wyatt too accepted the challenge and desired to smash him for a huge maximum. This is not the first time that these two cricketers have set Twitter on fire with their amazing conversation. Meanwhile, Wyatt has backed RCB to win the game against Kings XI Punjab which is scheduled to take place in Bengaluru on Friday.

Here’s the thread of the conversation:
