Babar Azam's act leaves Wasim Akram dumbstruck as Shaheen Afridi grimaces in pain after thumb nearly dislocated

Hindustan Times  

Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam, on Sunday, turned physio for his teammate Shaheen Shah Afridi after the fast bowler nearly dislocated his thumb during the 3rd and final ODI match of the series against Australia in Perth. Babar's act left Pakistan legend Wasim Akram dumbstruck as Shaheen recovered quickly to pick two more wickets in the match. Shaheen Afridi had nearly dislocated his thumb during Australia vs Pakistan 3rd ODI It happened in the 26th over of the match when Sean Abbot pulled the shorter delivery from Shaheen towards deep mid-wicket for a single. Babar ran in quickly and pulled his thumb as former Australia cricketer Brendon Julian, who was in the commentary box, said: “I reckon that's Babar and he is trying to put the dislocated thumb back.” Akram, who was part of the panel, was rather left surprised at Babar's prompt act as he remarked: "How does Babar know how to do that?"
