Rashid Khan gets a marriage proposal during a CPL game
It'd be interesting to see if the 18-year-old will react to her proposal or not, but considering he's just 18, chances of him not consenting are quite high.
The sensational teenager Rashid Khan already has a lot to boast about in his CV, playing a crucial role in Afghanistan’s meteoric rise is one of them. But his fame rose a level higher after Sunrisers Hyderabad picked him for a whopping Rs. 4 crore in the IPL 2017 auction and the 18-year-old did full justice to every penny the franchise paid for him.
He is now representing the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and has been performing exceptionally well for them, having picked up 8 wickets in 7 games. But during the group game against St. Lucia Stars a peculiar incident explains how much the fans adore this youngster.
A teenager watching the game inside the stadium was spotted with a placard, which read, “Rashid Khan – You’re young, I’m young. My roti is round, let’s settle down.” Yes, he just received a marriage proposal from a fan and he hasn’t reacted to it yet. It will be interesting to see if at all Rashid reacts to her proposal.
Another fan posted an image of the girl from the crowd on Twitter.
Not for the first time
This isn’t the first time a cricketer received a proposal from a fan inside the stadium. The famous Zaheer Khan incident in an India-Pakistan game over a decade ago is something the fans still remember. Zaheer was sitting inside the dressing room when the camera spotted a fan with a placard which read “I love you.” That got the crowd going and Yuvraj Singh didn’t back away when it came to embarrassing his teammate.
South African cricketer Quinton de Kock got hitched to Sasha Hurly, who is a cheerleader. She approached De Kock for an autograph, but their relationship took an interesting turn and started blossoming. They got married last year in the presence of his teammates and family members.
