‌ Cricket would’ve been boring if the players had not been animated on the field. Abrar Ahmed ensured that the entertainment continued as he brought up a send-off his own after bagging the wickets of Matthew Breetzke and Reeza Hendricks in the first T20I between Pakistan and South Africa.

The decision to bat first in the first game of the white ball series against Pakistan didn’t go as expected for South Africa. Shaheen Afridi’s new ball discipline was backed up by Abrar Ahmed during the powerplay phase, as he stole the show with a sly-looking send-off following the wicket of Hendricks. 

Having already outsmarted Breetzke in his first over, Abrar stunned another Proteas batter with Hendricks being his second prey. The wrist-spinner came over the wicket and bowled a length delivery outside the stumps that turned sharp into the right-hander. Hendricks rocked back to play against the turn but got beaten on the inside edge as the ball castled onto the stumps. Soon after, the bowler gave a sly send off by gesturing the batter towards the pavilion with his head, prompting the Twitterverse into a frenzy.

That is cute isn't it?

Hahaha!

Things not working for SA!

That was some celebration!

He did it twice!

Wait what?

He was so good at it!
