‘Look hi aisi di jisse…’ – Sajid Khan leaves media in splits when asked about his angry wicket celebrations

Pakistan cricket team beat England by 9 wickets to win the Rawalpindi Test match to take the series 2-1. Sajid Khan played a key role with the ball as he took 19 wickets in the series. The 31-year-old also contributed with the bat as he scored 72 runs with a key 48 not out during the final game. 

One reported asked Sajid Khan “We witnessed that you were scaring England batters with your bowling while Noman was picking wickets, working the same way as Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis used to,”

Replying to this, Pakistani spinner said “Maine to kisi ko nahi daraya. Aap log kehte ho ki daraya hai. Allah ne look aisi di hai ki main hansta bhi hun to log darr jaate hain”. This response had the crowd in splits. 

Sajid Khan credits Noman Ali’s support in massive series win 

England had taken 1-0 series lead after they won the first Test in Multan by an innings and 47 runs. The Pakistani selectors decided to change the team for the next two games as they dropped Babar Azam along with Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Sarfaraz Ahmed. This helped Sajid Khan, Noman Ali, and Kamran Ghulam to get a look in. 

38-year-old Noman Ali picked 20 wickets in the two games with a best of 8/46 with 2 fifers. Sajid Khan also picked two fifers with a best of 7/111 in the first innings of the Multan Test which was won by Pakistan. 

Speaking during the press conference, the spinner said “Thankful to god for the series win. There was no pressure as such. I was making a comeback, but there were people who backed me. Noman bhai is one of the most experienced spinners in our country. He has been a great mate and has served well. He deserved this PoS award with me. Congrats to the nation for this win”

Pakistan skipper Shan Masood praised Sajid Khan at the end of the game and said “For everyone to stand up and give their best means a lot. It is about characters, people you can trust, people you think can bleed for you, Sajid literally bled for us yesterday”
