Watch: Mohammad Rizwan performs an impressive one-handed shot

Mohammad Rizwan played a crucial role in dismissing Bangladesh opener Zakir Hasan with a stunning catch.

The incident occurred in the 17th over when Naseem Shah bowled a ball over a length. Zakir drove it off-side with minimal foot movement, resulting in a thick outside edge.

The ball was heading towards the first spot where Babar Azam was standing. The Pakistani goalkeeper jumped to his left and caught the ball with his left hand.

He fell to the ground after completing the catch. Babar and the rest of the team warmly welcomed Rizwan for his extraordinary fielding skills.

Mohammad Rizwan stunned spectators with his spectacular one-handed catch. He received praise from commentators who exclaimed, “The man of crisis, who has raised his hand not once but several times” and “A real idiot.” Bangladesh lost their first wicket with 31 runs on the board.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share the video clip and captioned it: “An absolutely spectacular catch! 😲 The @iMRizwanPak gives @iNaseemShah his first wicket of the day.”
