NEW DELHI: Spinner Sajid Khan claimed five wickets, and Abrar Ahmed took another four to lead Pakistan to a 127-run victory on the third day of the first Test against the West Indies in Multan on Sunday. Sajid finished with 5-50, bringing his match tally to 9-115, while leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed took 4-27 as the West Indies were bowled out for 123, falling well short of their target of 251.
During the match, Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan engaged in a light-hearted exchange with West Indies spinner Kevin Sinclair.
The moment occurred when Sinclair came out to bat with the West Indies in a precarious position at 6/42 in the second session.
As Sinclair made his way to the crease, Rizwan humorously referred to the Multan pitch as a “graveyard.”
The banter between the two players was picked up by the stump mic and quickly went viral on social media.
“Ya brother, come to the graveyard. You enjoying the bowling, brother?” Rizwan asked Sinclair, who nodded in reply.
