The ongoing edition of the Global T20 Canada has witnessed a lot of interesting moments which include Yuvraj Singh walking off despite not being out and even before the on-field umpires could make a decision. He was then seen making fun of his Mumbai Indians team-mate Ben Cutting while he was being interviewed by the presenter fiancee.

After that Dwayne Bravo was seen giving an epic send-off to his former West Indian team-mate and old friend Kieron Pollard. Bravo was also criticised for having his nickname behind his jersey by commentator Simon Doull. Then there was a hilarious incident which involved Shahid Afridi and his countryman Wahab Riaz while running between the wickets.

Amidst all the fun, things got serious during the second round match between Toronto Nationals and Montreal Tigers on Wednesday.
