Australian Prime Minister turns heads by becoming a water boy.

It was certainly a rare occurrence and if anything, it left the world pleasantly surprised when Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison charged onto the ground carrying the drinks during a practice game between Prime Minister's XI and Sri Lanka at the Manuka Oval on Thursday.

In a low-scoring affair, the home team skittled the tourists for 131 as Oshada Fernando top-scored with 38 off 25 including three fours and two sixes. Australia then got over the line with one wicket remaining as Fawad Ahmed nine off seven at the death.

His special appearance shocked many viewers and also the Australian players. When Morrison was running towards the field, many players were seen laughing and some were shocked. Some players also shook his hand as he was leaving the field. The Australian PM came to the field on the sixteenth over when Sri Lanka had scored only 110 runs. Morrison was wearing a white formal shirt, a black trouser and a green and yellow striped tie. He was also seen representing his country by wearing the traditional yellow cap of Australia.
