The on-going Mzansi Super League has been truly providing its fans utmost entertainment. Cricketers usually come up with new ways to win hearts after taking a wicket or breaking records.
Recently, South African cricketer Tabraiz Shamsi had a new trick up his sleeves on the field. He rightly hogged the limelight with his magic trick after taking a wicket- after which he stunned the fans with an amazing piece of magic trick.
Tabraiz, plays for Paarl Rocks in South Africa's Mzansi Super League. In a video, which is going viral, he pulled out his handkerchief and turns it into a 'magic wand'. His boot-call celebration went viral earlier in the tournament.
This magic trick in the Mzansi Super League 2019 match between Paarl Rocks and Durban Heat left commentators, team members and fans at shock.
The incident happened in the eighth over when Shamsi bowled a leg-spinner to Wihab Lubbe. "I have always been fascinated by magic and different tricks," Shamsi told media after a match.
“From the age of about 15 or 16, I wanted to become a magician as it was a hobby of mine. It wasn't just a phase, but something that really interested me as a small child. I still love it, but cricket obviously took over after that. People come out to watch us play and sometimes we (the players) become too serious," said Shamsi.
