Some of Australia’s top cricketers, including Pat Cummins, Usman Khawaja, and Marnus Labuschagne, recently participated in a hilarious lie detector test that has taken social media by storm. The test, which was part of the ‘Fletch and Hindy’ show on Fox Network, featured a series of funny and personal questions aimed at the players. The results have left fans and fellow teammates in splits.
The players, which also included Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, and Josh Hazlewood, faced the lie detector with a mix of humor and apprehension. A blue light signaled a truthful answer, while a red light, followed by a mild electric shock, indicated a lie.
One of the most talked-about moments involved Usman Khawaja. When asked if he had ever watched adult videos through Virtual Reality (VR) goggles, Khawaja confidently answered “No.” However, the lie detector disagreed, and Khawaja received a shock, much to the amusement of everyone in the room.
Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, also had his moment under the spotlight. When asked if he had ever watched adult content in VR and lied about it, Cummins simply answered “Yes,” leading to a burst of laughter from the hosts and fellow players.
The test didn’t just stick to personal habits but also ventured into the realm of team gossip. In a surprising question, one of the hosts asked Khawaja whether Glenn Maxwell’s recent accident, where he fell off a golf cart and missed a match against England in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, was a cover-up. Khawaja firmly denied any cover-up, saying, “No! Because I was there. I saw him fall off the cart.” Yet, once again, the lie detector indicated otherwise, leading to more laughter and another shock for Khawaja.
Adding to the humor, Mitchell Marsh shared a tidbit about Maxwell’s trip to Turkey, revealing that the star cricketer went there to get a new set of teeth.
While NDTV could not independently verify the credibility of the lie detector, the video has undeniably provided fans with a rare, lighthearted glimpse into the lives of their favorite cricketers. The viral clips are making waves across social media, showing that even elite athletes can have a good laugh at themselves, especially when facing a lie detector.
This funny and candid interaction comes as a refreshing change of pace amidst the high-stakes environment of international cricket, further endearing these players to their fans around the world.
