AUS vs PAK: Mohammad Rizwan, Adam Zampa engage in hilarious DRS banter
Mohammad Rizwan added yet another moment of side-splitting comedy to his portfolio during the first innings of the second ODI between Pakistan and Australia as he asked Adam Zampa whether he should challenge the on-field decision upstairs.
The fourth delivery of the 34th over saw Naseem Shah dig one in short. With Australia at 153/9, Zampa’s sole intention was to fetch as many runs as he could. He went on to try and hook the short delivery but to no avail. The delivery seemed to have passed close to his gloves on the way to Rizwan, who immediately went up with a caught-behind appeal.
While approaching Naseem and the others on his way, Rizwan hilariously asked Zampa whether he heard any sound. Zampa quipped that Rizwan is appealing for every other moment. An unexpectedly amusing moment followed when Rizwan obliged to Zampa’s suggestion of taking the review.
Here’s how the conversation between the two went about:
Rizwan: “You heard something?”
Zampa: “You seem to appeal for everything!”
Rizwan: “Can I take it now?”
Zampa: “Oh yeah, you should, you should take it.”
