Fakhar Zaman Shocked by Dismissal in Asia Cup 2025 Match Against India
In a surprising turn of events during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match held on Sunday, September 21, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Fakhar Zaman was left stunned after being dismissed against India. The left-handed batsman had made a quick 15 runs from 9 balls, including three impressive fours, before Hardik Pandya sent him back to the pavilion.
Pandya bowled a clever off-cutter, which gripped slightly off a good length. Fakhar edged the ball, and Sanju Samson, behind the stumps, made a diving attempt to catch it. There was a moment of uncertainty surrounding whether the catch was clean, prompting the on-field umpires to refer the matter to the third umpire for review.
Different camera angles showed mixed results. One suggested that Samson might not have secured the ball completely, while another angle confirmed it as a clean catch. Ultimately, the third umpire ruled Fakhar out. He looked visibly disappointed and lingered at the crease for a moment before making his way back to the dressing room.
After his dismissal, Fakhar had a brief conversation with head coach Mike Hesson, who also seemed unhappy with the decision.
