West Indies bowler Jomel Warrican paid his Pakistan counterpart Sajid Khan back in kind on Monday, replicating the same taunting celebration that Khan had pulled off after dismissing him on Sunday.
It made it all the more satisfying for Warrican because Khan was the last wicket to fall for Pakistan which led to West Indies winning the match by 120 runs, their first test win in Pakistan in over 34 years.
With the hosts down to their last wicket, Warrican’s delivery bamboozled Khan who played the ball on to his stumps. Following that, the West Indies spinner taunted Khan with John Cena’s “You can’t see me” gesture, following up with a thigh five.
34 years in the making! 👏🏻
West Indies claim their first win in Pakistan since 1990 to level the series!

This gesture was exactly what Khan had done on Sunday when he snapped up Warrican in the 59th over of the West Indies’ second innings. After the dismissal, Warrican had just just smiled at the bowler before venturing off.
In the match, Pakistan, which needed a further 178 runs for an improbable win, fell quickly to Warrican’s left-arm spin on Day 3 as the West Indies won with over 2 days to spare.
Warrican claimed 5-27 to finish the series with a series-leading 19 wickets and also pushed Pakistan to the bottom of the World Test Championship table as both teams ended its two-year campaigns.
It was a remarkable turnaround for West Indies which lost the first test by 127 runs at the same venue and were 7-38 on Day 1 of the second test before its tailenders lifted them to 163 all out for a slender first innings lead of nine runs.
West Indies finished eighth on the WTC table and Pakistan was at No. 9 with Australia and South Africa already qualifying for the final at Lord’s in June.
