Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan on Sunday flaunted a new bat design at the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. Playing for the Adelaide Strikers against defending champions Melbourne Renegades, Rashid was seen holding a bat that had depression on its back, giving it the look of a camel’s back.


Cricket Australia tweeted a picture of the bat and nicknamed it “The Camel”.

As soon as this image went viral, people on social media came up with different reactions. One of the netizens shared the fact about when and where the 'camel bat' was used for the first time.




Rashid turned up with an all-round performance in the match. With the unique bat, he smashed 25 runs off 16 balls to push the Strikers’ score to 155/6. He then bowled a stellar spell, giving away just 15 runs in 4 overs and taking two wickets. He ended the match with the best economy rate in his team.
