The Pakistan tour of Sri Lanka is underway with the first test in Galle and the tour will further have another test. On the third day of the first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka Galle saw a funny incident involving Sadeera Samarawickrama, Abrar Ahmed, and Babar Azam leaving everyone in splits.
The incident happened in the 120th over of Pakistan's first innings, when Mendis was bowling to Abrar, who was batting at number 11. Mendis delivered a ball that spun sharply and hit Abrar's glove before landing on his pad.
The ball then got stuck between his knee and the flap of his pad, and Abrar tried to shake it off. The Sri Lankan wicketkeeper Sadeera Samarawickrama ran towards him to collect the ball, but Abrar kept moving away from him in a comical manner. He then realized that he could be run out and quickly dropped the ball and ran back to his crease.
The whole episode was captured by the cameras and shown on the big screen. Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who was sitting in the dressing room, could not control his laughter after seeing the hilarious exchange.

The incident did not affect Abrar's concentration, as he went on to score key runs and added 29 runs for the last wicket with Saud Shakeel, who scored a brilliant double-century. Pakistan was eventually bowled out for 461, taking a lead of 149 runs over Sri Lanka. The day ended with Sri Lanka 14/0 and still trailing by 135 runs heading to the fourth day.
