Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan playfully teased a young kid at the ground while fielding during the second T20I against New Zealand on Tuesday (March 18) at the University Oval in Dunedin. It happened during the second over of the second innings when New Zealand were chasing 136.
On the third ball of the over bowled by Mohammad Ali, Finn Allen smashed a six over wide cover region. Shadab Khan ran back to the boundary to fetch the ball, and while returning he playfully teased a young kid watching the game in the stands near the boundary. He offered to give the ball and then immediately turned around and ran back.

"Very good bowling performance. We bowled well into the wind. The wicket has been under cover. There was extra bounce on it. The death bowlers bowled really well. We were happy at the half time."
"It was tough bowling into the wind. Tried to hit it into the wind. We have been playing some good cricket. The guys are hitting the ball well. The bowlers are hitting the right lines. It was pretty cold but hopefully we played some entertaining cricket."
