AFG vs SA | Twitter in splits as footballer Rashid makes Burger play goalkeeper at non-striker's end

South Africa sufferred a horrifical collapse in their first ever bilateral encounter against Afghanistan as the visitors crumbled to 36/7 by the end of the powerplay. Rashid Khan, returning to the format after a year having last played at the ODI World Cup in India, seized the opportunity to flex his skills as skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi handed him the ball. After early struggles, the clinical wrist spinner finally opened his account in his sixth over with a brilliant googly to sound Bjorn Fortuin the death rattle, bringing Nandre Burger to the crease. With his team racing towards a big win, Rashid seemed to be in a great mood as evident in his antics in the 26th over.

Bowling to Wiaan Mulder, Rashid dished a striaght full delivery that was pushed back to him by the Proteas batter. Rashiddecided to ttry and juggle the ball back in his hand but could not really ace his attempt as the Kookaburra seemed to wobble out of control. The veteran dried to some damage limitation with one final big kick with his outstretched leg, hoping to redirect the ball back towards himself. However, it fleew past the Afghan and straight into the hands of Burger at the non-striker's end.

Both players were all smiles as the Saffa handed Rashid the ball and Twitterati was equally amused by the wholesome incident.
