In a thrilling flashback, Pakistani cricketer Shadab Khan recalled the epic sequence of play that led to Virat Kohli's dismissal in the 2017 Champions Trophy Final. Khan's remarkable catch and Mohammad Amir's brilliant bowling made for an unforgettable moment in cricket history.
Khan remembered the dropped catch by Azhar Ali, which could have changed the course of the game. "When Azhar Ali dropped the catch, I was at point, and I went back to back him up. I was thinking, 'He's that type of player who can win a game from anywhere,'" Khan said.
However, the very next ball, Khan grabbed a stunning catch, dismissing Kohli and turning the game in Pakistan's favor. "I didn't see it the first time because as a point fielder, you always see where the blade goes. But I don't know how I grabbed it. Thank God we did, otherwise, we might not have won," Khan exclaimed.
This memorable moment was part of Pakistan's historic 180-run victory over India in the 2017 Champions Trophy Final. Mohammad Amir's exceptional bowling, which included the crucial wicket of Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan played a significant role in Pakistan's triumph.
