Cricket in 2018: 5 Hilarious comments that were caught on the stump mic

4. When Sarfraz Ahmed lashed out at Martin Guptill

Sarfraz Ahmed is known for his animated and aggressive behaviour in the field. Moreover, after becoming the captain of Pakistan cricket team, he has become more lively. One such episode happened in January this year in a match between Pakistan and New Zealand. It was the third and the last T20I match of the series between NZ and Pakistan.

The Men in Green had batted first and scored an impressive 181 runs from their quota of 20 overs. In reply, NZ went off to a flier and mustered 51 runs in the powerplay. Martin Guptill completed the powerplay while hitting a 108-meter six off Faheem Ashraf’s final delivery. The ball went out of the ground and the umpires ordered to bring in a replacement ball.

However, the Pakistani captain wasn’t happy with the replacement ball. He argued that the ball wasn’t old enough and decided to discuss the matter with a stand-in umpire. It was then when Guptill tried to interfere and said, “Just tell him to f*****g pick a ten over old ball.” This agitated Sarfraz Ahmed who then yelled at Guptill saying, “I’m not talking to you, okay? F**k off.”

A stump microphone caught the hilarious conversation involving the umpire, Sarfraz, and Guptill. Reacting to it, the commentators also couldn’t hold their laughter. Eventually, the video did the rounds on various social media platforms as the people took the matter in a rather funny way.

Here is the video:
