That awkward moment when Luke Wright got 'blender' as Man-of-the-Match Award

English cricketer Luke Wright is one of the most powerful hitters in contemporary cricket. He has played for many Twenty20 (T20) teams across the globe and has earned accolades on numerous occasions. A Man-of-the-Match award is prestigious one and Wright starred in one of the games in  Dhaka Premier League. One such award was also given to Wright in the 2013 edition of Dhaka Premier League for his magnificent outing in the game. READ MORE: Virat Kohli congratulates team India on their victory against Zimbabwe

But surprisingly, the award turned out to be a blender which is quite awkward in this era of cricket where players get attractive prizes and hefty cash on such achievement. In an old tweet from Wright, he posted a picture of him while receiving the award and wrote, “Pleased we won my first match 4 Abahani today. Have 2 say I have never been given a blender 4 getting MOM before!” READ MORE: KL Rahul’s century on debut and 14 other statistical highlights from Zimbabwe vs India at Harare

It’s funny but at the same time an award is an award and should be respected accordingly. Wright at the moment is serving Sussex and has done a commendable job in the recent times.
