The video of Pakistan cricket team captain Babur Azam asking Khushdil Shah to hand over the man of the match award to him in the one-day international against the West Indies has gone viral on social media.
First Match
The West Indies, who are touring Pakistan, played their first ODI against Pakistan yesterday. The West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first in the match at Multan. This was followed by the opening of the team by Shay Hope and Myers. Hope played brilliantly and scored a century.
West Indies' Brooks and Roman Powell put on 305 for the loss of 8 wickets in the allotted 50 overs.
Chasing
Pakistan's Faqir Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq followed suit with a target of 306 to win. Babur Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who came next despite Saman being out for 11, played well and led the team to victory. Rizwan was out for 59 and Babur was out for 103, causing a stir in the match.
Khushdil Shah, who came on the field then, scored 41 off 23 balls to help the team win. Pakistan tasted victory, losing only 5 wickets in 49.2 overs.
Do not award
Following this, it was announced that Babur Azam, who scored a century and helped Pakistan win the match, would be given the man of the match award. But Babur, who went on stage, said he would rather wanted the award be given to Khushdil Shah, who led the way to victory by playing action in the final stages of the tournament. Thus the fans and team players were flexible. Khushdil Shah was then awarded the Man of the Match award. The video is currently going viral on social media.
