He quipped, “Where did these girls go, when we were doing hundreds.” Of course, this kiss created a sensation in the cricket world. Abbas was shocked by this sudden incident and the spectators could not understand anything. There was silence for a few moments in the stadium. The very next moment the fans present their started clapping. The fans were enjoying this cute act of kissing the girl, but Abbas Ali’s face turned red in shame.
