After Farhad Reza had scored the winning runs that put Rajshahi Kings in the BPL’s second qualifier, everyone waited for their celebration. Would they pretend to take a group selfie or pose for the imaginary group photo?

Darren Sammy, whose unbeaten 55 off 27 brought them back from the brink of elimination, motioned to the rest of the Rajshahi players – who had joyously ran into the middle from the dugout – to take his photos as he posed like a bodybuilder. Farhad couldn’t contain his laughter standing next to Sammy, like the rest of the stadium.
