Actually, the field referee Alimdar was injured in this match. The video of him is going viral on social media.
During this tackle, a ball thrown by Wasim Junior hit the feet of referee Alimdar. The pitch was hit hard. Alimdar appeared in pain after being hit by the ball. The pain was so intense that he dropped the shirt he was holding on the ground. As soon as the ball hit the referee’s leg, team captain Babar Azam admonished Wasim Junior. After this, a smile also appeared on his face.
After the ball was hit, Wasim Junior was shown stroking the same leg of the referee, in which he had hit the ball. During this, some players including team captain Babar Azam were seen standing near Alimdar. After this, the doctor came and sprayed her leg.
