The moment unfolded in the 10th over, bowled by Kuldeep Yadav. Imam hit the ball to mid-on and tried for a quick single. Axar Patel moved fast. Rushing in, he picked up the ball one-handed and fired an accurate direct hit at the non-striker’s end. Imam made a desperate dive but fell just short. This silenced the Pakistan supporters in the stands.
