Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan found himself in a comical DRS moment during the second ODI against Australia at Adelaide Oval. In an amusing exchange with Australian bowler Adam Zampa, Rizwan was tricked into taking a DRS after a bouncer from Naseem Shah to Zampa led to a questionable caught-behind appeal. The incident sparked laughter from both players and the commentary panel.
The incident unfolded in the 35th over of the Australian innings. Naseem Shah bowled a bouncer that Zampa tried to pull, missing the shot as the ball ended up in Rizwan’s gloves. Unsure if there was any bat involved, Rizwan went up in an appeal for a catch. Then, in a moment of surprising humor, Rizwan asked Zampa directly if he thought there was an edge. Zampa, not missing the chance to throw him off, replied, “You should take it.”
The back-and-forth continued with Zampa quipping, “You blokes appeal for everything,” before encouraging Rizwan to go for the review.
The dialogue that followed made for an unforgettable exchange:
Rizwan: “You heard something?”
Zampa: “I don’t know. You blokes appeal for everything.”
Rizwan: “We may take it [DRS] now.”
Zampa: “Oh, you should. You should.”
Incredibly, Rizwan then signaled for the DRS, much to the amusement of the commentary team, who burst into laughter at the unusual scenario.
As expected, the DRS showed a clear gap between the bat and the ball, confirming that there was no edge. The review was unsuccessful, and Rizwan’s choice to trust Zampa’s playful suggestion ended in a light-hearted lesson. The moment quickly went viral, showcasing Rizwan’s good-natured approach and the spontaneous humor of the game.
This is too funny, isn’t it?
