However, the incident took place in the fifth over as wicket-keeper batsman Josh Philippe and Jack Edwards were looking to steady the ship after the early turbulence. Kagiso Rabada’s short of length ball was swung towards long leg where Imran Tahir was standing. The spinner did actually take a fine catch that required him to come forward and collect the ball cleanly with one knee skidding. However, unfortunately, his fantastic effort would go to waste as the umpire had called it a no-ball.

But that is where the real fun began. Of course, the umpire wasn’t audible enough for Tahir, who was fielding at the ropes, and the fielder took the catch, turned back with swagger towards the crowd standing behind him with wicket keeper Quinton de Kock waiting all this while for him to throw the ball. That wasn’t it, Tahir followed it by pointing to the name at the back of shirt before throwing the ball in no man’s land. The batsmen had taken two quick runs by then.
