Kings-XI Punjab head coach Brad Hodge talks about his time with the team and reveals various incidents that happened during the camp. One such moment and funniest one according him involved Kashmir cricketer Manzoor Dar (Pandav).
“I think the funniest moment at the camp was when we had our simulation with Manzoor Dar batting. He missed the ball and Akshdeep Nath took off in a flash while Manzoor remained rooted on the other end. Akshdeep had to double-back but still got run out at the other end. So I asked Manzoor, ‘Mate how come you didn’t run?’ and he said he couldn’t run because his new spikes got stuck in the wicket since this was the first time he had worn full spikes! We found that quite amusing and he had a big smile on his face, but Akshdeep Nath of course got run out and may not have been particularly amused,” Hodge was quoted by Kings-XI Website.
