Dr Babar In Charge! Star Pakistan Batter Helps Shaheen Shah Afridi Set Dislocated Finger Bone Back- WATCH Photo : AP

Ace Pakistan batter Babar Azam was seen turning into a physiotherapist for pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi after the latter sustained an injury during the third ODI against Australia in Perth . The latter was hit on his bowling arm while fielding off his delivery and immensely cried out in pain as the impact of the throw was immense on the finger.

As Australia pacer Sean Abbott completed his run, a throw from the field towards Shaheen awkwardly hit his finger and the latter was seen in immense pain.

Shaheen went down on his haunches and needed some quick medical care to get rid of the excruciating pain. Before the physios came out, Babar took charge and was seen massaging the thumb, in the hope of putting the dislocated finger bone back in place.

The commentators acknowledged Babar's gesture towards Shaheen as well. Watch the video here:

The physio did his job with the famous magic spray and Shaheen was soon back on his feet, finishing with a three-wicket haul at the end of Australia's innings.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to field in the third and deciding ODI against Australia at Perth Stadium on Sunday, November 10. Australia won the first match on Monday at Melbourne by two wickets, before Pakistan routed Australia by nine wickets in the second match at Adelaide on Friday to level the three-game series.

Skipper Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Hazlewood have all been rested for Australia ahead of a five-Test series against India, starting November 22 in Perth.

Batter Cooper Connolly plays just his second ODI and has been joined by Marcus Stoinis and bowlers Sean Abbott, Spencer Johnson and Lance Morris for the hosts.

Fresh from being named in Australia’s first Test team as a reserve batter, Josh Inglis is interim skipper for Sunday’s game.
