"MS Dhoni Got Man Of The Match Award For Dropping 2 Catches": Saeed Ajmal Vents Out Frustration

Former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal was once one of the finest bowlers in the world. Having also topped the ICC charts in multiple formats, Ajmal has done wonders for the Pakistan team over the years. However, the spinner still has a regret, which is the fact that he failed to earn the Man of the Match award against India during an ODI series in 2013 despite picking up a 5-wicket-haul.

Watch: Australian Players Booed At Lord's After Jonny Bairstow's Controversial Run-Out During Ashes 2023

Jonny Bairstow's dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia sparked major controversy at Lord's with the Australian players getting booed by a major section of the crowd. During the 52nd over of England's second innings, Bairstow ducked a bouncer from Cameron Green and after the ball was safely inside wicket-keeper Alex Carey's gloves, he decided to leave his crease to have a chat with Ben Stokes on the non-striker end. However, the ball was not dead yet and a direct hit from Carey resulted in a massively controversial run-out. It is common practice among batters to inform the keeper or the umpire before they leave the crease after any ball but Bairstow did not do it on this occasion and Australia decided to not withdraw their appeal.
