Pakistan’s all-rounder Aamir Jamal injected a moment of fun into the second day’s play amidst the intensity of the ongoing Test match between Pakistan and Australia.
He pulled a prank on Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne while bowling, adding a touch of humour to the final Test of the three-match series.
During the second session of the day, following the drinks break, Aamir Jamal geared up for his delivery, seemingly holding the ball in his hand as he commenced his run-up. However, just as he approached the umpire, Jamal revealed the lighthearted ruse—there was no ball in his hand.
Not your normal kind of 'no ball'! 😆

The funny act sparked laughter not only among the players but also left the commentators, including the likes of Wasim Akram and Michael Vaughan, thoroughly amused.
Despite the brief pause, the Australian team managed to add only three runs following the light-hearted prank. The day’s play concluded with Australia standing at 116-2. Unfortunately, the day’s proceedings were cut short due to the rain interruption, leaving Australia trailing by 197 runs.
Jamal’s light-hearted gesture amidst the competitive Test match drew smiles from players and spectators alike, offering a momentary respite from the intensity of the game.
