Winning the toss and electing to bat first to avoid fourth innings batting on a rank-turner Multan track, West Indies felt the rumination of the previous Test. Pakistan started off with spin along with Kashif Ali and the Windies batters felt the heat in the morning session. Sajid Khan and Kashi got the early wickets, setting up for a Noman Ali hattrick that reduced the visitors to 68/8 in 21.3 overs before Babar showed off his dance steps.
With Gukadesh Motie and Kemar Roach trying to be stubborn against a high-flying Pakistan spin attack, the camera captured Babar producing a non-characteristic antic. While Motie tried to take the stance for the fourth ball of the over, Babar was choreographing his arms in jubilation and enjoying the moment. The Twitterverse, however, found it funny and labeled it as a failed attempt to copy Virat Kohli’s epic infamous dance steps in Wankhede.

Time for a commentary upgrade!
The only reason for boring thest matches in Pakistan is the commentary of bazid khan and Aamir sohail. Can’t stand hearing them anymore. Pakistanneeds to find energetic commentators.
