Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Abbas and Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan, both currently playing for Nottinghamshire in England’s County Championship, became the focus of a viral video. The clip captures a moment of shared celebration after Abbas dismissed a batsman, with Kishan playing a crucial role.
On the second day of a match, Mohammad Abbas bowled out Adam Lyth for a duck on the very first ball of the first innings. The catch that led to Lyth’s dismissal was taken by none other than the Indian cricketer, Ishan Kishan.
Following the wicket, the Pakistani and Indian players were seen shaking hands and even embracing each other, a gesture that quickly spread across social media platforms. This display of sportsmanship and mutual respect between the two athletes, especially given the current strained relations between their respective countries, has been highlighted as particularly notable and interesting.
It’s also worth mentioning that this match marks Ishan Kishan’s debut in the County Championship, adding another layer of significance to the viral moment.
