"I think it was some kind of sushi" - Adil Rashid reveals which England teammate successfully completed his challenge in the nets

England leg-spinner Adil Rashid found a winner in Liam Livingstone for a challenge he threw amongst his teammates. Rashid, England's lead spinner in the ongoing T20 World Cup, laid down an interesting gauntlet for his fellow countrymen and had to buy Livingstone dinner.

Rashid challenged his teammates to hit a boundary off one of the designated balls in the end. Of all the power-hitters in the England set-up, Livingstone emerged triumphant, smacking a massive six off the 34-year-old.

Adil Rashid said he likes to face situations where the opposition needs a boundary to win. As for Livingstone, the Yorkshire spinner revealed he ordered sushi.

"It was four or six off the last ball, and he hit me for a massive six. I enjoy going in the nets and working like that, with four or six to win. It gives the batsman and myself a bit more to think about. I think it was some kind of sushi. I know he ordered a lot more than he usually does, anyway."

Livingstone, a batting all-rounder, has emerged as one of the most potent match-winners. He showcased his magic with leg-spin on Saturday against Australia, bagging figures of 4-0-15-1 while dismissing Matthew Wade.
