WATCH, AUS vs PAK | Caring Babar Azam turns physio to aid Shaheen Afridi’s bruised thumb
Unprecedented injuries might take a toll on one’s physical and mental health. Pakistan spearhead Shaheen Afridi was on the receiving end of a sudden thumb injury when senior pro Babar Azam tended to him with medical assistance even before the physio walked in during the third ODI against Australia.
The third ball of the 26th over was bowled short of a length outside the stumps to Abott who pulled it towards square of deep mid wicket for a single. A throw was made from the deep to deny a couple of runs when Shaheen tried to grab the incoming white cherry in front of the bowler’s end wickets. In the process, the ball thudded his left arm’s thumb, leaving the bowler agonizing in pain. He was on his haunches when Babar arrived at the scene and tended to him. The former captain held his thumb and massaged it for a while before the physio strolled into the field and examined during the drinks break.
Dr. Babar Azam!
Dr Babar is on the case! 👨⚕️
