Pakistan’s off-spinner Sajid Khan has been making headlines not only for his exceptional bowling but also for his light-hearted antics during the second Test against England at the Multan Cricket Stadium. While Sajid was in top form with the ball, it was a funny on-field moment that captured the attention of fans worldwide.
On Day 2, in the final moments of play, Sajid Khan amused everyone with a playful gesture aimed at England’s Brydon Carse. After completing his 17th over with England finishing their 48 overs, Sajid cheekily flashed three fingers in Carse’s face, which quickly became a viral sensation on social media.
The humorous exchange occurred as Carse was heading to consult with his batting partner. Sajid, with a mischievous grin, held up three fingers in a light-hearted gesture that appeared to mimic a concussion test. This was particularly amusing as Carse had earlier taken a blow to the helmet during the match. Sajid seemed to seize the opportunity for some friendly banter, adding to the fun atmosphere of the game.

While the exact meaning behind Sajid’s three-fingered gesture remains unclear, many speculate it was Sajid’s humorous way of referencing the earlier incident with Carse’s helmet. Whether it was an inside joke or pure banter, the moment added a touch of lightness to the intense competition.
As for the match itself, Pakistan had a strong start in the first innings, posting 366 runs. In response, England was bowled out for 291. However, Pakistan struggled in their second innings, losing early wickets and reaching 214/8 by the close of Day 2.
