An incident involving Dwayne Bravo hugging Mohammad Hafeez in the game between Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021) has gone viral on social media.
Hafeez was caught taking an early advantage at the non-striker’s end in the final over of Guyana’s innings. Bravo pulled out of his delivery stride and had a glance at the batsman and a run-out at the non-striker’s end was expected.
However, Bravo instead fist-bumped Hafeez and the two hugged and shared a laugh together.

Hafeez, however, showed no mercy with the bat and hit back-to-back boundaries when he got the strike taking Guyana Amazon Warriors to 146/8. The Pakistan player, batting at No. 6, scored an unbeaten 38 runs off 31 balls.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots chased down the target with eight wickets and seven balls to spare.
Notably, Hafeez had refused to inflict a ‘mankad’ against Joe Root in 2019. He instead asked the batsman to slide his bat in and stay grounded as a warning.
Bravo, on the other hand, was caught taking an unfair advantage at the non-striker’s end for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.
