WATCH: Sarfraz Ahmed caught cheating on camera
New Delhi: Sarfraz Ahmed’s gutsy knock of 61 runs led Pakistan to victory against Sri Lanka by 3 wickets to enter Semi-finals of the ICC Champions trophy on Monday in Cardiff.
The Pakistani skipper has been receiving appreciations from all horizons for his heroics with the bat but Sarfraz became the butt of jokes during the Sri Lankan innings.
The incident took place in the 34th over when Sarfraz dropped Sri Lankan all-rounder Asela Gunaratne on Mohammad Asif’s delivery. The Pakistani skipper dived towards his right to catch a stunner but couldn’t keep the hold of the ball for a long time.
Despite knowing the fact that he had dropped the catch, Sarfraz opted for a review, which was more embarrassing.
