Adam Gilchrist pulls off classic ‘Circle Game’ prank and earns Twitterati praise
The exploits of former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist on the pitch are well known. But few people know his witty avatar on social media. Recently he performed a classic “Circle Game” field prank on social media and people were pleasantly surprised to see his playful demeanor.
For those who do not know the ‘Circle Game‘, here is a small guide: The objective is to form a circle with the thumb and the index finger. Then you try to divert your opponent’s attention to the circle. Now, if your opponent manages to break your circle with his index finger, then he can hit you.
While commenting for the Big Bash League, which is an Australian Twenty20 cricket league, during the match played between Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers, Gilchrist played the prank and the video went viral.
