Watch: Ben Stokes accidentally throws his bat during Karachi Test
The Ben Stokes-led England created history as they thrashed Pakistan in their home, winning the third test by 8 wickets. England also celebrated a remarkable white-wash over Pakistan. But, one thing that grabbed eyeballs of the fans was Stokes throwing his bat. In the midst of the Three Lions’ batting in their second innings, skipper Ben Stokes flung his bat accidentally which landed close to the square leg umpire.
England were on the cusp of registering a clean sweep in the three-match Test series. During their chase of 167, a rather hilarious incident took place when Ben Stokes was batting at the crease.
On the fifth ball of the 15th over, Stokes was up against spinner Nauman Ali and the former miscued a shot and lost control of his bat as it landed near the umpire standing at square leg. The batter and the commentators on air were left in splits when Stokes lost grip of the bat. Umpire Ahsan Raza, who was the one standing at square leg was seen jogging out of the firing line.
