Salman Khan and his band of boys featured in a cricket match against Shoaib Akhtar's team comprising Pakistani cricketers and actors in order to raise funds for Salman's charitable organisation Being Human. The match was held yesterday at Dubai Sports City stadium in Dubai.
Salman's team comprised of actors such as Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan, Suneil Shetty, Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani, Vatsal Sheth, Ashish Chowdhry, Mahesh Manjrekar and Sanjay Kapoor. Also spotted were Sallu's good friends like David Dhawan and Chunky Pandey who were there to lend their support to this noble cause.
Much to everyone's delight, the match turned out to be super-exciting as Salman's team needed 6 runs of the last over. However, it was not going to be a piece of cake as it was none other than the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar who was steaming in to bowl the final over of the game. There were some nervous in Sallu's camp but Sohail Khan and Suneil Shetty managed to keep cool and in the end it was Salman's team that won with just one ball to spare. Arbaaz who was running for Suneil Shetty in the last over, was over the moon when his team won. He excitedly tweeted, "Yes we win with 1 ball to spare. What a match. Like a true India v/s Pak game. Too too too excited :)"
