In one of the funniest incidents, Pakistan fielders made a mess of Rohit Sharma’s catch before somehow holding onto it during their Super Fours clash against India. Nonetheless, the incident reminded them of the notorious Saeed Ajmal drop involving Shoaib Malik from the match against West Indies which was interestingly played in UAE—-Abu Dhabi.
Coming back to this game, both the Pakistan fielders—Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah almost ran into each other before the catch was taken. It all happened in the fifth over of the innings, where Rohit miscued one from the bowler and Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah almost bumped into each other and nearly made a hash of it. In the end, Khushdil just about clung on.
