With half-centuries from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/?s=Babar+Azam\">Babar Azam<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/?s=Imam-ul-Haq\">Imam-ul-Haq<\/a>, Pakistan had amassed a total of 275\/8 in 50 overs.<\/p>\n<p>During the Pakistan\u2019s 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\u2019s wonder, the Pakistan vice-captain hugged him, eliciting a loud ovation from the spectators.<\/p>\n<p>With Shadab batting on 9, the incident occurred in the 39th over of Pakistan\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ian Bishop, a West Indies cricket veteran who\u2019s also a commentator for the series, saw the incident live and took to Twitter to applaud Shadab Khan. \u201cGreat 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,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great moment just now when  a spectator ran onto the field.
