Watch: Twitter trolls Azhar Ali over amusing run out against Australia

An uncanny run out of Azhar Ali initiated by the Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine made Twitterati’s go insane.
Pakistan and Australia are playing the second Test of the series in which Pakistan are at commanding position but Azhar’s comic run out will leave you rolling on the floor laughing.
“Azhar Ali at his Best!”- Twitterati mock the bizarre run-out
In Peter Siddle’s over, Azhar edged the ball to the gully where the ball stopped just before the boundary line and Mitchell Starc collected the ball, threw it to the wicket-keeper.
Assured of a boundary, Ali decided to have a discussion with the non-striking partner Asad Shafique in the middle of the pitch, but it was all turned out to be a part of the dumbest run-out ever.
Tim without wasting any time took the ball and immediately dismissed the striking batsman Ali.
It was a bitter pill for Azhar to get dismissed in a strange way.
Although the unusual run out didn’t hamper Pakistani side much as they are still dominating the match but it gave Twitterati’s more stuff to laugh at.
One can’t afford to miss the Twitter reactions:

The reactions are priceless, some said it is the most stupid thing happened in cricket.
Pakistan cricket at their very best.
That run out is one for the ages… Azhar Ali has just raised the bar for his fellow batsmen to an unprecedented level…
p.s – Coach Mickey Arthur's reaction… ?

Azhar Ali raised the bar of excellence.
Deadset, the most stupid run out you will ever see in Test cricket. He thought he hit a 4, he didn't.https://t.co/8RKbnXnZVO

Only Pakistani player to get out in this way.
Unbelievable run out in Abu Dhabi. Pakistan batsmen think ball had gone for four. It hadn't and Azhar Ali is run out while chatting to his partner in the middle of the pitch!

Please, peps this December only.
Such a way to cheer up the damp squib.
Full props to Azhar Ali for providing such comic zest to this otherwise dull affair in Abu Dhabi. ? #PAKvAUS

Apart from Azhar, Haris Sohail was also dismissed in the first session (but this time in the usual way) by Nathon Lyon. Regardless of the two early dismissals, Pakistan took the lead of 300 runs over the guests.
