The green brigade is currently on an unforgettable tour of New Zealand. After being whitewashed 5-0 in the ODIs, the visitors hope for a change of fortune in the T20I series but the script hasn&#8217;t changed much.<\/p>\n<p>During the first T20I against New Zealand in Wellington, Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed did something for which he is getting trolled on the social media.<\/p>\n<p>The wicketkeeper-batsman tried a stunt exactly like India\u2019s former captain MS Dhoni to avoid the stumping, but he failed miserably in attempting that and got out. After that, social media took a sarcastic jibe on Sarfaraz and trolled him. Dhoni had saved himself from stumping with a similar tactic in a T20 match against New Zealand in November.<\/p>\n<p>On the first delivery of the 10th over from Mitchell Santner, Sarfaraz went for a sweep. The hilarious moment was created as he slipped, leaving him in split literally and got out stumped. Sarfraz Ahmed departed only after scoring nine runs.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NZvsPAK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#NZvsPAK<\/a><br \/>\nSarfaraz Ahmed showing off some yoga skills. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V2FBUOqFAR\">pic.twitter.com\/V2FBUOqFAR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Muhammad Qaisar (@qaisar1298) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/qaisar1298\/status\/955299417598373888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 22, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the first T20I, Pakistan were bundled out for a paltry 105.
