The first Test, on one of the flattest tracks between Pakistan and England, may have upset the fun of fans of the classic Test, but a funny incident left the unpleasant moments behind. Former British captain Joe Root assisted the backstroke by uniquely polishing one side of the ball. After the end of Pakistan’s 72nd innings, Root, Jack Leach‘s bald head shined a red ball in Rawalpindi.
The video surfaced online and instantly went viral. After making constant efforts to get the wickets on Rawalpindi’s flat track, Root made it before the 73rd. As players can no longer use spit to polish the ball (prohibited by the company) MM Earlier this year), Root used the sweat of Leach’s bald head perfectly.
