During the first match of the 3-game ODI series between Pakistan and Afghanistan, an impressive catch by Shadab Khan drew everyone’s attention. It happened in the fourth over when Naseem Shah bowled, and Shadab dived to take the catch.
This catch helped dismiss Afghan captain Hasmatullah Shahidi without scoring any runs. Shadab caught the ball near mid-wicket as Shahidi attempted a pull shot.
Just before that over, Afghanistan had already lost two wickets in a row to Shaheen Afridi. Losing their captain’s wicket put them in further trouble. The quick dismissals were of Ibrahim Zadran and Rehmat Shah in the 3rd over.
Afghanistan struggled, managing only 4 runs and losing three important wickets in just 3.3 overs. Shadab Khan’s incredible athleticism as he leaped and caught the ball with his left hand left a strong impression on the viewers. This moment has been widely shared and has become viral.
