In a video that has been doing rounds on social media, Pakistani pacer Hassan Ali can be seen engaged in a fight during a local cricket match after the spectators jeered him with inappropriate comments.
According to a geo.tv report, Hassan was participating in a match on Sunday in Arif Wala, a city in the Pakpattan District of Punjab. The crowd poked fun at the pacer for dropping a crucial catch in Pakistan's semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2021 against Australia.
As people tried to hold Hassan Ali back, his patience wore thin and he couldn’t keep calm and leaped into the crowd, before being pulled out by other supporters and his teammates.
Here is the video of the incident:
