During the 18th game of the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier between Nigeria and Canada in Abu Dhabi, a funny incident took place. Nigeria batsman Sulaimon Runsewe, was seen running off the ground for a break.

Meanwhile, the umpires gestured Onikoti to return to the dressing room as Sulaimon Runsewe was seen tying his thigh pad before entering the field once again. Once Sulaimon Runsewe came the ground, he was cheered by all the spectators and the teammates as well.
