Fakhar Zaman news
Fakhar's unfortunate incident occurred when New Zealand opener Will Young drove a delivery from Shaheen Afridi through the covers. He sprinted to intercept the ball and managed to palm it back to Babar Azam for the return throw.
Pakistan’s chances of making it to the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final have already been dented as they lost the first game against New Zealand. Pakistan has to win the game against India in order to keep their semis hope alive.
The left-hand batter smashed a hundred when the two teams locked horns in the Champions Trophy final, in 2017, as Pakistan won the tournament.
The situation for Babar Azam and Co. got worse when India lost to South Africa on Sunday (October 30) and it is completely out of their hands now to qualify for the semi-finals.
Soon after the remarkable incident, many fans took to Twitter and hailed Fakhar's gesture.
