‘Goro ko aap thoda sa bhi turn de do na, woh ghabra jaate hai’: Pakistan spinner Sajid Khan makes strong comment on England | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan combined brilliantly to dismantle England, powering Pakistan to a dominant nine-wicket victory in the decisive third Test and clinching a memorable 2-1 series win on Saturday.
Pakistan took control early, gaining a crucial 77-run first-innings lead on a pitch that proved ideal for spinners from both teams.
Noman (6-42) and Sajid (4-69) bowled England out for a mere 112 in their second innings, leaving Pakistan just 36 runs to chase for the series win.
Although Saim Ayub fell early, Pakistan comfortably completed the victory during an extended morning session on day three.
Noman and Sajid accounted for 19 of England’s 20 wickets, with Pakistan’s lone seamer, Aamer Jamal, unused—a clear testament to the spin-friendly conditions. Since being drafted mid-series, the duo took 39 of England’s 40 wickets in the last two Tests.
In a video going viral on social media, Sajid commented on England’s struggles against spin, saying that the Three Lions get nervous on turning tracks.
“Goro ko aap thoda sa bhi turn de do na, woh ghabra jaate hain. Kyunki wo jis conditions mein khelte hain udhar hum ghabra jaate hain, idhar ye ghabra jaate hain (If you give England players even a slightly spinning track, they get nervous, because the conditions they usually dominate make us nervous, but here it’s they who get nervous),” Sajid remarked.
