Shadab Khan tries to raise the umpire’s finger after a failed DRS against Sri Lanka
During the final of the Asia Cup 2022 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, one of the funniest moments in the history of the tournament happened. It was Shadab Khan, who tried to raise the umpire’s finger in a hilarious manner, after a failed DRS taken by Pakistan captain Babar Azam off the bowling of Haris Rauf against Bhanuka Rajapaksa.
The umpire also had a great laugh at the expense of Shadab Khan, while stopping the all-rounder from raising his finger in the air. At the end of the night, the Asia Cup 2022 trophy was won by Sri Lanka, who defeated Pakistan by 23 runs in a pulsating contest.
