Pakistan leg-spinner Shadab Khan, in a hilarious manner, hold the umpire Masudur Rahman’s hand and forced him to raise his finger after a DRS appeal went against Pakistan.

The incident happened in the sixth over when Haris Rauf bowled a brilliant Yorker to Bhanuka Rajapaksa and the batter missed it completely. The ball hit straight on the shoes of the batter and Rauf appealed for LBW. But the umpire didn’t think it was out.

Pakistan asked for a review, but the decision was unturned as the ball was only clipping the leg stump according to hawk eye and the ‘umpire’s call’ stood.

After the DRS, Shadab went to the umpire and tried to stretch the umpire’s hand to raise the finger in a funny manner.

Both Shadab and umpire Rahman had hearty laughter.
