PAK vs BAN | Twitter reacts as Rizwan's one-handed magic gives Zakir dose of his own medicine
The sweetest victories in cricket are when you turn the tables and serve your opponent a taste of their own medicine. A similar incident unfolded on the second day of the Pakistan-Bangladesh Test, as Mohammad Rizwan’s spectacular catch led to Zakir Hasan’s dismissal with a hint of retribution.
Resuming on Day 3, the overnight batters continued their defensive approach and occasionally rotated the strike. However, Naseem Shah broke through when Mohammad Rizwan pulled off a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Hasan.
On the final ball of the 17th over, Shah delivered a back-of-a-length ball outside the off stump. Furthermore, Hasan attempted an off-side drive but with minimal foot movement, resulting in a thick outside edge. The ball flew towards the first slip where Babar Azam was stationed. But Rizwan redefined Pakistan’s fielding standards and leapt to his left and snatched the ball with one hand. Lying on the ground after the catch, Rizwan was warmly embraced by Babar and the rest of the team. The catch sparked a flurry of discussion on Twitter with many comparing it to Zakir’s impressive grab in the first innings which dismissed Abdullah Shafique.
Stunning catch!

Brilliant effort by Rizwan!
Rizwan diving full length and taking a catch that was destined for first slip only to show old Sarfaraz that see you ain’t agile enough now and you should announce retirement. This is bad and Rizwan should respect his seniors. pic.twitter.com/XiDYWiZ0XZ
