Cricket Viral Video: The former Pakistan cricket captain, Inzamam-ul-Haq, was known for his ability to score runs at a high rate during his playing days. Despite his success on the field, he often found himself on the receiving end of some unfortunate dismissals. As the only Pakistani batsman to ever score more than 10,000 runs in ODI cricket, Inzamam had a remarkable career that spanned 375 matches. However, one particular dismissal stands out as one of the most bizarre moments in his ODI career.
Inzamam Ul Haq’s bizarre dismissal
In 2006, Inzamam was captaining the Pakistan cricket team during India’s tour, which included a five-match ODI series. During the first ODI in Peshawar, Pakistan was tasked with chasing down a target of 305 runs in 47 overs. When Inzamam came in to bat at number six, the score was at 265-5, having slipped from 232-2. He quickly reached 16 runs off 18 deliveries, giving Pakistan a good chance of reaching the steep target. However, a momentary lapse in judgment resulted in Inzamam being dismissed for “obstructing the field,” much to the surprise of the spectators and fans.
Despite this unfortunate incident, Inzamam’s career remains a testament to his skills as a batsman, and he will always be remembered as one of the greatest players in Pakistan’s cricket history.
During the 44th over, Inzamam hit a ball down the ground towards mid-off and started walking towards the non-striker’s end, possibly looking for a quick single. 19-year-old Suresh Raina quickly grabbed the ball and threw it back towards the batsman. Inzamam, still standing out of his crease, casually deflected the throw with his bat. To his surprise, the Indian fielders immediately appealed for a dismissal.

Umpires Simon Taufel and Asad Rauf held a brief discussion, after which Taufel made the call. Inzamam, who may not have been fully familiar with the obscure rule, approached Taufel in disbelief, passionately arguing his case. Meanwhile, the Indian team gathered in the background. After their conversation, Inzamam walked off the field, shaking his head in disbelief, having fallen victim to a rare and unusual dismissal.
