WATCH: Sajid Khan channels John Cena to sledge Jomel Warrican in thrilling Test match
Pakistan's Sajid Khan uses WWE-inspired antics to intimidate West Indies' Jomel Warrican during the second Test.
The two-match Test series between West Indies and Pakistan took place at Multan and belonged to the spinners who caused a lot of problems for the batters in the series. While it was the spin duo of Jomel Warrican and Gudakesh Motie causing troubles for Pakistan, the South Asian giants also had the likes of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan to trouble the West Indian batters.
The 31-year-old Sajid Khan was also adjudged the player of the match in the first Test. Sajid not only showcased an attacking line and length as an off-spinner but also had a fearless and intimidating presence in the series which was great to see. He took 15 wickets from the two matches and was one of the best bowlers for Pakistan, the third-highest wicket-taker in the series.
An example of Sajid’s fearless attitude was seen in the second Test where the off-spinner was bowling to tailender Jomel Warrican where the ball turned sharply into the right-hander while he attempted a slog sweep. The ball turned enough to miss all three stumps and Sajid Khan walked towards Warrican and did the iconic gesture of professional wrestler John Cena. All Warrican could do is just smile back at Sajid after the magical delivery.

Meanwhile, speaking of the series, even after Pakistan’s great victory in the first Test, the West Indies managed to win the second game to draw the series 1-1 after beating the Pakistan team by 120 runs. Warrican was the star for the Caribbean Giants once again taking nine wickets in the game. Interestingly, the wily spinner did not forget the 'Cena antics' of Sajid early on while he was batting. After dismissing Sajid in the second innings, Warrican too pulled out the same 'You can't see me' gesture to rattle his spin counterpart.
