A hilarious incident happened during the Big Bash League (BBL) knockout match between Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat. The play was stopped for few minutes while the Thunder batsman Usman Khawaja changed his lower abdomen guard.

It happened after the end of 8th over. The guard had slipped out and Khawaja took some time to change the abdomen guard along with the jockstrap. He took his pants off to replace the jockstrap. 

The funny thing was he was doing it in the middle of the ground and the commentators were wondering if this has happened before or not. Marnus Labuschagne, who was ready to bowl the next over, couldn't do anything but wait till Khawaja was done.

7 Cricket shared the video clip on Twitter and asked fans if they have seen this before? "Have ... have you ever seen this before ???? Usman Khawaja had to change everything - on the field! ????", the tweet read.

Talking about the match, Thunder were asked to bat after Brisbane Heat won the toss. They posted a total of 158/8 after a good finish by Ben Cutting who scored 34* off 18, the highest score for Sydney in the innings. 

Khawaja struggled during his knock and got out after scoring 28 runs off 30 deliveries in an important game.
