'Oscar-worthy' Gulbadin Naib collapses after Trott urges Afghanistan to 'slow things down', sparks laugh riot on live TV

Gulbadin Naib delivered an 'Oscar-worthy' acting performance, as the commentators put it, during his team's crunch T20 World Cup Super Eight tie against Bangladesh in Kingstown on Tuesday. Gulbadin Naib went down immediately after Jonathan Trott signalled Afghanistan to slow things down As Trott used his hand gestures to convey his message, Gulbadin, who was fielding at first slips in the 12th over, suddenly held his left thigh and collapsed, indicating cramps. However, after the incident was replayed, the emotions of the commentary panel changed as they could be heard bursting into a laugh riot on live TV upon seeing Gulbadin go down in slow motion. It was even funnier to see Gulbadin acknowledge Trott's message with one hand while using the other to favour his left hamstring as he went down in 'pain'.
