Imran Khan turns on campaign mode & blames the opposition for the constitutional crisis

<p>Pakistan crushed Australia by nine wickets in the final third ODI at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore to clinch the three-match ODI series 2-1. Pacers Mohammad Wasim and Haris Rauf shone with the ball as Pakistan bundled out Australia for a paltry 210 runs before chasing down the target with as many as 12.1 overs to spare.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was a brilliant all-round performance from the Babar Azam-led side, who completed a remarkable comeback to win the series 2-1 after losing the first game by a big margin. While Pakistan's on-field performance was lauded by many, the players hilariously fell on the winner's board during the celebrations post their win.</p>

<p>During their celebrations, the players sitting in the front row hilariously tumbled on the winner's board leaving the commentators in splits. The video of the incident soon went viral on social media as the players were quick to gather themselves and continue with the celebrations.</p>
