Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan and a cameraman mimicked former Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan’s celebration. In the second Test between Pakistan and England at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Khan grabbed eyeballs with his unique celebration. Notably, Sajid made it to the squad after the selectors decided to drop Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, Abrar Ahmed and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Along with Sajid, Zahid Mahmood, Noman Ali and Kamran Ghulam were also picked in the squad.
Khan delivered a brilliant performance on Day 2 of the Test, as he ended the day with figures of 19-1-86-4. As he picked the wicket of Harry Brook, Khan erupted in joy and mimicked former Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan, who announced his retirement a few months ago. Brook, who recorded a remarkable triple century in the opening Test, failed to do much in the second game. The number 5 batter could only score nine runs before Khan compelled him to walk back.
Sajid Khan and cameraman mimic Shikhar Dhawan’s thigh-five celebration
During the game, Sajid bowled one on the off-stump and got the ball to turn back sharply. The Englishman tried to play cut short through the off-side, but ended up leaving his stumps rattled. Sajid celebrated the wicket with former Indian batter Shikhar Dhawan’s trademark thigh-five celebration. This is not it, as a cameraman was also seen imitating Dhawan and Sajid. Speaking of the match, apart from Ben Duckett, no other English batter could score well. Duckett scored 114 runs off 129 balls with a combination of 16 boundaries before Sajid Khan ended his innings.
Apart from Sajid, left-arm spinner Noman Ali picked up wickets of Zak Crawley and Ben Stokes to finish with the figures of 21-4-75-2. As of writing, Pakistan were leading the game by 118 runs at the time of lunch.
