Azhar Ali's run-out vs Australia at Abu Dhabi

Twitter reactions on Azhar Ali’s run-out vs Australia: The Pakistani batsman’s dismissal is likely to go down as one of the funniest ones ever.

During the third day of the second Test of the ongoing Australia’s tour of UAE at Abu Dhabi, Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali ran himself out in the most outlandish possible way. The dismissal is highly likely to go down as one of the funniest that has been made on a cricket field ever.

It happened on the third delivery of the 53rd over when Ali edged a Peter Siddle delivery past the gully fielder. Assuming that the ball would go for a boundary, Ali and his partner Asad Shafiq stopped mid-way for a chat.

Completely unaware of what had been happening on the ground, the duo didn’t bother to see around that Australia spearhead Mitchell Starc had thrown the ball back to wicket-keeper Tim Paine, who dislodged the bails without a hesitation of doubt.

After the Australians started to celebrate, Ali was in utter disbelief of what had happened around and with him. Ali eventually had to take the long walk back to the pavilion in a state of shock. He ended up scoring 64 (141) with the help of four fours.

Earlier, Paine had stumped Haris Sohail (17) on the bowling of Australia’s premier off-spinner in Nathan Lyon. At the time of writing this article, Pakistan has built a lead of 333 runs with six wickets in hand. With more than eight sessions remaining in the match, a certain result is on the cards with Pakistan in the driver’s position at the moment.
