A joyous celebration after taking a wicket is typical for most bowlers, but some opt for an intense death stare instead. A similar moment unfolded during the Test match between Pakistan and England where Sajid Khan unleashed a furious celebration, locking Ollie Pope in a cold death stare.

‌Pakistan were bowled out for 366 runs, largely thanks to Kamran Ghulam's debut century and Jack Leach’s four-wicket haul. In response, England's openers, Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley, got off to a strong start, taking the score to 73/0 in 12 overs. However, Noman Ali broke the opening partnership by dismissing Crawley in the 13th over. Duckett, joined by Ollie Pope, then added 52 runs, with Duckett reaching his half-century off just 47 balls. Just as the partnership seemed solid, Sajid Khan struck, removing Pope and following it up with a fiery celebration.

On the third ball of the 24th over, Sajid delivered a brilliant off-break flighting the ball around the off-stump. The ball landed on the rough and sharply turned back in. Pope, leaning forward to push it to the off-side left a wide gap between bat and pad. The ball snuck through the gate and crashed into the off stump. As the stumps shattered, Sajid erupted into a fervent celebration, staring Pope down as he walked back to the pavilion. The moment quickly caught the attention of Twitter users, who shared their reactions on social media.
