Zaheer Khan dismissed Pakistan’s Azam Khan in a spectacular manner
On the fifth ball of the 15th over, Zaheer, known for his ability to spin sharply over the top, delivered a slightly shorter length and wide of the stumps roughly on the seventh-stump line. The ball had a high amount of spin and remained below expectations. Azam waited for a slightly higher ball and tried to pull the ball towards the midwicket region. However, the sharp turn combined with the lack of crash completely misled the batting.
As Azam swung through the line, the ball rolled well inwards, breached the defense and clipped the leg stump. It was a textbook example of how to use wrist-spin variations and how to stabilize even the most violent of blows.
Azam looked to inject momentum into the innings with his aggressive style. He smashed one six off just seven balls, showing his penchant for controlling bowlers. But Zaheer’s tactical brilliance ensured that Azam’s stay at the crease was short-lived. The spin of the delivery was so exaggerated that even a shot of Azam’s caliber found himself completely out of focus.
