Yusuf Pathan can't stop laughing as Rashid Khan involves in a funny banter with Khaleel Ahmed

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) players are currently in Kolkata ahead of the second qualifier against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) which will be played on Friday. The winner of the encounter will set the date for the title clash with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium on May 27. Meanwhile, the month of Ramadan is going on and the likes of Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, Khaleel Ahmed and Yusuf Pathan fast the whole day and they only have the food after the sunset which is called Iftaar.

Ramzan is the ninth month of Islamic Calendar and is observed by Muslims as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of Quran to Mohammad. They fast from dawn until sunset and can break their fast early in the morning which is called Suhoor. The post-fast breaking meals are referred to as Iftaar as Rashid, Yusuf, Nabi and Khaleel all observe fast the whole day. Even during the match-days, they have their food just before the game after the sunset but make sure they don’t break their fast during their hectic schedules.

Funny banter

All the players of the team are together for more than 45 days now courtesy of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which creates a family-like environment in the dressing room. No wonder the bond between the cricketers get strong during this period and they gel with each other nicely. Yusuf Pathan, on Wednesday, shared a funny video on social media website Instagram when they were enjoying Iftaar together.

Rashid Khan was seen pulling a leg of Khaleel Ahmed for coming late and candidly warned him. The conversation was thoroughly being enjoyed by Yusuf even as they were breaking their fast. The credit should go to these players for following the religious beliefs even during the tournament as they gear up for the knockout clash on Friday and would be itching to hit the straps and set the finals date with CSK.
