Rashid Khan flaunted a new kind of bat which had depression on its back.
Matthew Hayden had taken the cricket world by a storm with his unique Mongoose bat during the 2010 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). And after a decade, the cricket league is all set to witness another strange bat called ‘The Camel’.
Turning up for the Adelaide Strikers in a Big Bash League (BBL) match against Melbourne Renegades, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan flaunted a new bat which had depression on its back. Cricket Australia tweeted a picture of the bat and called it The Camel, for its shape which is similar to that of the double humps possessed by a breed of camels.
