PAK vs SA: Babar Azam, Rizwan hilariously ask SA batsman if he has edged the ball – WATCH

The DRS is a tricky subject and most cricketers have had a hard time deciding whether to opt for a review or not. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam faced this dilemma and such was his confusion that he in fact ended up asking the batsman whether he has edged the ball.

The incident happened during the 53rd over of South Africa’s second innings. South African batsman Rassie van der Dussen was beaten by a delivery from Pakistan spinner Nauman Ali. The right-hander failed to read the straighter one from Ali. The ball missed Dussen’s forward defense and crashed on his front pad.

Pakistani fielders got excited and appealed for leg-before wicket. But the umpire didn’t budge. As it was a close call, Pakistan discussed about referring the decision to the third umpire. However, skipper Babar Azam was unsure about the Dussen having an inside-edge. He discussed with the wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan about it and suddenly from nowhere, asked the batsman whether he has hit the ball. The spontaneous reaction from Azam made even the commentators laugh.
