Offspinner Sajid Khan took a fantastic catch off his own bowling to get rid of them Kavem Hodge on Day 2 of the first Test between Pakistan and West Indies at Multan. It was an excellent diving catch by Sajid that provided his team with a big wicket.
Sajid Khan bowled a pitch outside off stump as Hodge came down the track to reach the pitch. However, he was hit in flight as the batsman tried to get the ball out and hit a straight ball to the bowler’s left.
Sajid darted long to his left and got down to catch the ball with one hand. But the ball didn’t stick to her hands cleanly and bounced off her. However, he didn’t drop the ball to the ground and somehow managed to catch it cleanly.
