The hilarious incident took place in the 24th over the Indian innings. The viral video showed Haris Rauf appealing for LBW against batter KL Rahul.
The umpire gave it not out. The pacer asked Babar Azam to review the decision by raising his finger and said ‘Out hai (That’s out)’.
However, Babar Azam was not interested in reviewing the umpire’s decision, and told Haris Rauf that the ball was hitting high on the pads.
Haris Rauf found humour in the situation and laughed about it with wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan.
