'Come to the graveyard': Mohammad Rizwan roasts West Indies batter as Pakistan dominate Day 2 of Multan Test - Watch

The situation for Pakistan cricket appeared dismal as they suffered a series defeat at home to Bangladesh, raising questions about the team's future. Faced with harsh criticism, they battled to restore their form. After losing to England in the first Test, a 3-0 victory appeared unavoidable.

In a brave attempt to turn things around, Pakistan opted to replicate India's strategy of building spin-friendly surfaces at home. This tactic paid off, as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali twisted their way to a stunning victory over England, revealing a successful method for Pakistan in their home surroundings.

Excitement grew as Pakistan prepared a tough pitch in Multan for the first Test against the West Indies. The surface provided ample grip and turn, making it difficult even for Pakistani batters. Despite being bowled out for 230 in their first innings, the total seemed impressive given the challenging playing conditions.

The West Indies faced a dreadful scenario as Sajid Khan and Noman Ali dominated with their spin bowling. The pair claimed nine wickets, with the West Indies being dismissed for 137 in the 26th over. Although the penultimate combination of Jayden Seales and Jomel Warren fought back, contributing 46 runs, a shocking 19 wickets fell on Day 2, breaking the record for the most wickets to fall in a single day in Pakistan.

In the face of difficult conditions, Pakistan's fielders shown outstanding skill and commitment, putting pressure on the West Indies hitters. The mood became heated when Kevin Sinclair came to bat after Tevin was dismissed with the team score at 42. Mohammad Rizwan's taunt "come to the graveyard" to Sinclair soon went viral on social media.

It's worth mentioning that the present series has minimal impact on the World Test Championship final, given both the West Indies and Pakistan have finished in the bottom part of the standings. Australia and South Africa have advanced to the final.
