We have seen batsmen celebrating a failed DRS call against them after surviving a loud shout, or even the fielding side does it too often. But during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2021 match between Karachi Kings and Islamabad United, it was the umpire who surprised everyone with a mini celebration.

Pakistan's renowned umpire Aleem Dar was delighted after his call for not-out remained unchanged despite referring it to the third umpire. It was the first delivery of the last over in Islamabad's innings when they scored the remaining one run to chase down 197 runs.

Kings' bowler Waqas Maqsood bowled a yorker as the batsman Asif Ali tried to get the final run for the victory. The game was done and dusted right there but Karachi decided to go for a DRS thinking they might get the batsman out LBW.

Replay showed there was a thick inside edge and also the ball had hit the boot well outside off; ruling out the possibility of a dismissal. The on-field umpire Dar was happy after confirmation from the third umpire and he celebrated by pumping his fist before signalling the failed DRS. It was a win for Islamabad by 5 wickets. 

Here is the video:

Dar, who is the ICC elite panel umpire, will not be available for the PSL matches from February 25 to March 14 due to his international commitment. 

He will join the Test matches between Afghanistan and Zimbabwe in UAE.
