Mohammad Wasim Jr. has garnered everyone's attention on social media for a hilarious prank on one of his young fans during the match against the Netherlands in Rotterdam on Thursday (August 18).
Pakistan are currently in the Netherlands, battling the Dutch team in a three-match ODI series in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. The Men in Green gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series with a victory on Thursday.
The second ODI of the series took place in Rotterdam, where the visitors registered a comfortable seven-wicket win. A video clip from the first innings of the match has gone viral on social media.
After the 32nd over of the Netherlands innings, Mohammad Wasim decided to interact with the fans near the boundary line. One of his young fans was excited to click a selfie with him, and handed the cricketer a phone to click the photograph. Wasim obliged, but he teased the fan by pretending like he wanted his phone.
The young fan tried to take it back a couple of times, but Wasim took it away from him each time. Eventually, he gave the device back to that kid.
