‌PAK vs BAN | Twitter in awe after Zakir Hasan defies physics to produce jaw-dropping catch

Following a delayed start due to a wet outfield, Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and elected to field first. Pakistan openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique aimed to withstand the Bangladeshi bowling but failed to do so neatly. Hasan Mahmud was successful with the new ball, courtesy of a tremendous catch from Zakir Hasan at gully. 

On the third ball of the fourth over, Hasan Mahmud bowled a fuller delivery outside the stumps that Shafique tried to drive on the front foot. It was right in the arc to be driven but the right-hander played it late and aerial for the fielder at gully to snap it like a hawk. Zakir Hasan stationed there, swerved to his right in a fraction of a second to grasp the ball with firm hands and complete the catch. With the fielder seeming almost in the air while gobbling the ball, the Twitterverse could do nothing but to laud his incredible effort.

What a catch!

Flying like a bird in the air!

What a catch by Zakir Hasan! Pakistan is at 3/1 after 5 overs. Pakistan is probably thinking it would have been better if the rain hadn't stopped. #PAKvsBAN pic.twitter.com/IpUeVSZ5El
