8. Luke Wright being awarded a blender
Victoria Sporting Club clashed against Abahani Limited in the 2013 season of the Dhaka Premier Divison in Savar(3). Monir Hossain & co. batted first and posted 234 runs on the board courtesy of half-centuries from Soumya Sarkar and Abdullah Al Mamun. Luke Wright was the pick of the bowlers for Abahani picking up three wickets for 33 runs.
Wright, after his sensational bowling display, showcased his batting might as well. The former England cricketer took the attack to the opposition right from the get-go and smashed 66 runs off 49 balls. His blistering knock helped Shahriar Nafees & co. win the game with 14 balls to spare.
Wright was adjudged the Player of the Match for his superb all-round performance. However, to everyone’s surprise, the former England all-rounder was given a blender as the POTM prize. It was a unique moment and Luke also took to Twitter to showcase his peculiar award.
