WATCH VIDEO: Shaheen Afridi’s Deadly Ball Sends Rahmanullah Gurbaz To Hospital In PAK vs AFG Warm-up Game – T20 World Cup
In the warm-up match against Afghanistan on Wednesday, the leftarm pacer bowled with the new ball and in the very first over sent a vicious yorker that crashed into opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s foot.
It all happened on the fifth delivery of the opening over when Afridi bowled a toe-crushing yorker which struck Gurbaz’s left foot, leaving the batter in immense pain.
Soon, Afridi and other Pakistan players appealed, and Gurbaz was declared leg before wicket. The play was stopped for some time with the physios coming out to treat Gurbaz, who did not seem comfortable at all. After some time, the Afghanistan opener was carried off the field by a substitute fielder as the former couldn’t walk.
