WATCH: Adil Rashid makes MS Dhoni look small with his no-look run out against Pakistan
England spinner Adil Rashid pulls off an amazing blinder against in a one-day international match Pakistan. The England spinner did a no-look run-out to dismiss Pakistan’s Babar Azam, which the netizens started comparing to MS Dhoni’s no-look run-outs.
The incident took place in the 27th over when Pakistan was chasing 352 runs. Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed was on strike and Babar was cruising at 80 off 83 on the other end. Sarfaraz pushed one on the leg side and was looking to take a single before taking his decision back. Babar had already reached the middle of the pitch but had to go back. Jos Buttler threw the ball towards Rashid and he pulled off a no-look run-out in the best way possible.
Stop what you’re doing and watch this piece of skill!

Sarfaraz later made up for his poor decision as he scored 97 off 80 balls but did not find support from the other end as Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals. Pakistan lost the match by 54 runs as England’s Chris Woakes took a five-wicket haul. Woakes registered a bowling figure of 5-54 in the fifth and final match of the ODI series.
England won the series by 4-0 as the first match was washed out due to rain. Every match in the series saw 300 plus runs from both the sides and the news might not be a good one for bowlers travelling to England for 2019 Cricket World Cup.
