This is how Imam-ul-Haq lost his wicket
Imam-ul-Haq, playing for 96 runs, was made his victim by New Zealand spinner Ish Sodhi. The video of Imam’s dismissal was shared on Twitter by PCB. In this video you can see that Imam walks forward to play Sodhi’s ball, but after pitching the ball goes out after being off-spinned. The ball reaches wicketkeeper Tom Blundell and he runs the stumps to Imam-ul-Haq.
In this video you can see that Imam looked very disappointed after losing his wicket. With this disappointment, he slowly returned to the pavilion. Imam missed his century by just four runs. Sharing this video on behalf of PCB, it was written in the caption, “A brilliant innings by Imam-ul-Haq comes to an end. Ish Sodhi took 5 wickets for the first time in Test.
