In a crucial Champions Trophy match in Dubai, Pakistani opener Imam-ul-Haq was run out by Indian fielder Akash Patel after scoring just 10 runs off 23 balls, sparking a storm of memes on social media.
Imam-ul-Haq attempted a short shot towards mid-on and started running, but he failed to reach the crease. At that moment, Patel threw the ball at the stumps, resulting in his dismissal.
The incident has ignited widespread attention online, with social media users flooding platforms with humorous memes aimed at his brief innings.
Imam-ul-Haq had been included in the squad as a replacement for Fakhar Zaman, who was sidelined due to injury ahead of the match against New Zealand.
The run out has added to the scrutiny of Pakistan’s batting performance in the high-stakes fixture, with critics questioning the decision to field the replacement opener in such a crucial game.
