Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan was involved in a heated exchange with West Indies batter Kevin Sinclair on Day 2 of the first Test at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The incident occurred amidst Pakistan's dominant display, as they took control of the match, finishing the day with a substantial lead of 202 runs in their second innings.
After being dismissed for a modest 230 in their first innings, Pakistan staged a remarkable comeback, thanks to the mesmerizing spin bowling of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan. The West Indies batsmen were utterly bewildered by the duo's vicious spin, crumbling to a precarious 42/6 in just 11.2 overs.
As Noman Ali struck again, dismissing Kevin Imlach to pick up the sixth wicket, Kevin Sinclair made his way to the crease. It was then that Rizwan was caught on camera sledging Sinclair, in a moment that has since gone viral on social media.
