How Yusuf Pathan helped Mohammad Nabi take his revenge against Rashid Khan; watch video
As the dressing room tradition goes in the Indian Premier League, player who performs well in the match gets to cut the cake and being smashed all over his face by his team-mates. Yesterday it was Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Mohammad Nabi’s turn who took two wickets and finished the game with the bat as well.
Nabi’s Afghanistan and Hyderabad team-mate Rashid Khan was ready to smash the cake all over his place after he was called for the cake-cutting ceremony. Nabi tried his best to stop the leg-spinner but he failed. Later Yusuf Pathan helped Nabi take his revenge against Rashid as he hold tight of him while Nabi rubbed the cake all over his face.
You perform well and you get cake-faced 😛

Sunrisers Hyderabad is performing exceptionally well in the Indian Premier League as their top order batsmen David Warner and Jonny Bairstow are performing brilliantly.
Jonny Bairstow and David Warner became the first pair in the history of IPL to register three consecutive century stand. They also registered their four back-to-back half-century partnership stand. Bairstow and Warner became the second pair in the IPL to score a century each in an innings, before them it was Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers who did it. Both of them also registered the highest first-wicket partnership of the Indian Premier League.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won their third consecutive match yesterday against Delhi Capitals in an away match. Jonny Bairstow’s quick fire 48 run knock helped Hyderabad win the match by 5 wickets and also gave him the man of the match award. Hyderabad will host Mumbai Indians on April 6 for a home match.
