MULTAN: West Indies spinner Jomel Warrican took a playful jab at Pakistan's Sajid Khan with WWE superstar John Cena's iconic "You can't see me" celebration during the final Test's second innings on Monday.

The incident occurred in the 44th over of Pakistan's second innings when Sajid Khan, attempting a tame push to the off-side with an angled bat, was bowled out by Warrican. 

As Sajid walked past him, Warrican responded by mimicking Cena's famous pose, adding a lighthearted twist to the moment.

Earlier in the match, Sajid had mimicked the same gesture after nearly being dismissed by Warrican. 


The 'You can't see me' pose, popularised by former 16-time WWE champions John Cena, has become a signature move in the wrestling world, and its playful back-and-forth between the two spinners added flair to the intense contest.

The West Indies showcased a spin bowling masterclass to dismantle Pakistan in the final Test of the two-match series, securing a 120-run victory and leveling the series 1-1. 

This victory is significant as it marks the first time the West Indies have won a Test on Pakistan's soil since 1990, a 35-year gap.

Chasing a target of 254, Pakistan faltered under relentless pressure from the Caribbean spinners, collapsing for 133 runs on Day 3. 

The hosts resumed at 76/4 but quickly found themselves in deep trouble as their fragile batting lineup crumbled within just 20 minutes of play.

Kevin Sinclair struck a decisive blow, dismissing Saud Shakeel for 13 and reducing Pakistan to 76/5 in 24.3 overs. Kashif Ali followed soon after, dismissed by Jomel Warrican for just one run, leaving Pakistan reeling at 76/6.

A brief glimmer of hope emerged as Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha steadied the innings with a 39-run partnership. However, Warrican once again turned the tide, dismissing Salman for 15. 

Rizwan's resistance ended soon after as he gave away his wicket, scoring 25 runs. He was dismissed by Warrican, who picked up his fourth wicket, leaving Pakistan at 122/8 in 41.3 overs.

Noman Ali showed some resilience, smashing a six off Motie’s delivery, but his innings was cut short after scoring just six runs, leaving the side at 131/9 in 43 overs. 

Sajid Ali was the final wicket to fall, dismissed by Warrican, ensuring the West Indies their first Test win over Pakistan on their home soil since 1990.

Warrican registered match-winning figures of 5/27, while Sinclair claimed three wickets and Motie took two.
