Skillful endeavors can change a weakness into strength and it even gets better if the stellar performance comes on a big stage. Such a moment unfolded when Sahibzada Farhan of Lahore Qalandars unleashed a precision throw from the covers, and dispatched Muhammad Akhlaq to the pavilion.

‌Chasing 175 runs put up by the Lahore Qalandars, the Karachi Kings' opening duo, Muhammad Akhlaq and Shan Masood, seemed poised to launch their team off to a strong start. Yet, their aspirations faced an early test when Zaman Khan delivered a masterful first over, stifling the Kings' openers and conceding a mere two runs, setting the tone with formidable bowling from the outset. However, the Qalandars' determination bore fruit swiftly as they managed to claim a wicket in the following over, courtesy of some exceptional fielding prowess.

As the third over drew to a close, Lahore's captain Shaheen Shah Afridi delivered a back-of-a-length delivery to Akhlaq. With intent, the batter drove the ball towards extra short cover, initiating a momentary confusion as he initially signaled affirmation for a run but swiftly reversed his decision, leaving his partner Shan Masood stranded mid-pitch. In the ensuing chaos, Farhan, stationed at short extra cover, swooped in, seizing the ball and throwing a precise throw that found its mark, shattering the stumps with Masood still inches away despite a desperate dive. Amidst the electric atmosphere of a packed Gaddafi Stadium, which had witnessed a stellar batting display moments earlier, the crowd erupted once again, this time in acknowledgment of Farhan's remarkable fielding brilliance.

The Twitterverse was in awe and took to social media to congratulate Farhan.
