Every team has a gunda, Shah Rukh Khan's character Kabir Khan famously said in the movie Chak De! India. While in real life having a gunda might be slightly far-fetched, there's no doubt that every team does have at least one prankster.

In Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), it seems the prankster is none other than Shikhar Dhawan.

Gabbar, as Dhawan is fondly called by his team-mates, was in the mood for some fun when SRH were recently commuting during the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).

 

Dhawan played a classic prank on his mates Shakib Al Hasan and Rashid Khan. The swashbuckling batsman rolled up a piece of paper and poked it their noses as they were fast asleep.

While the rest of the players had a good laugh, both Shakib and Rashid seemed less than impressed.

Dhawan, Shakib and Rashid have all been in fine form in IPL 2018. SRH are the only unbeaten team in the tournament at the moment, having won all their three matches till now. The 2016 champs play Kings XI Punjab at the PCA Stadium in Mohali on Thursday.

In their last match, SRH comfortably defeated Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. Dhawan was in full slow in that match, smashing an unbeaten 57-ball 78 with 13 fours and 1 six.

 

The strength of the SRH team was hailed by Australian all-rounder James Faulkner on Wednesday. "I think the strongest one (in term of bowling attack) has to be Sunrisers (Hyderabad). Bhuvaneshwar Kumar has been in great form for a couple of IPLs, (so) that will be my number one," the 27-year-old Faulkner said. "And the wrist spinner, who is the best in the World in T20s?" he added, referring to Khan, the Afghanistan leg spinner who has grabbed two wickets from three games for SRH in this edition of the cash-rich event.

Sunrisers also have bowlers like Siddarth Kaul, while Deepak Hooda and Mohammad Nabi act as part-time bowlers for the IPL franchise.
