The second of three One Day Internationals between Pakistan and West Indies is taking place tonight at Multan Cricket Stadium. With half-centuries from Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq, Pakistan had amassed a total of 275/8 in 50 overs.

During the Pakistan’s innings, a fan came out to the middle of the pitch during the second One-Day International between Pakistan and the West Indies to salute all-rounder Shadab Khan when he was batting, and to everybody’s wonder, the Pakistan vice-captain hugged him, eliciting a loud ovation from the spectators.

With Shadab batting on 9, the incident occurred in the 39th over of Pakistan’s innings. The fan came in before the fourth delivery of the over, and Shadab hugged him at that point. After that, the fan returned back, jumping with happiness. The video of the incident has gone viral on the social media.

Meanwhile, Ian Bishop, a West Indies cricket veteran who’s also a commentator for the series, saw the incident live and took to Twitter to applaud Shadab Khan. “Great moment just now when a spectator ran onto the field. Instead of being violent with him (because it could have been dangerous, plus COVID), Shadab Khan hugged him and sent him on his way. I understand all the reasons why that is frowned upon,” he tweeted.
