"Then, Now & Forever": Kamran Akmal Memes Viral After Pakistan Star's Blooper In World Championship Of Legends
Kamran Akmal memes flooded the internet on Saturday morning. The reason: a missed chance behind the stumps. During his playing days, it was not rare from the ex-Pakistan star to mistakes as a wicketkeeper. That long-standing tag of being a error-prone wicketkeeper came back to haunt the Pakistan player at the World Championship of Legeds where Pakistan Champions and England Champions played the first match on Friday. Pakistan Champions registered a thrilling 5-run win over England Champions in the tournament opener at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday. Pakistan Champions posted 160 for 9 in 20 overs after getting an invitation to bat first. Mohammad Hafeez scored 54 and Aamer Yamin slammed 27 not out off 13 while other Pakistan batters failed to impress. Liam Plunkett and Chris Tremlett were the pick of the bowlers for England with two wickets each. In the chase, Phil Mustard (58) and Ian Bell (51 not out) played noticeable knocks but failed to win the game for England. But Akmal's missed stumping went viral. It happened in the sixth over of England's chase, when Shoaib Malik was bowling to Phil Mustard. the batter stepped out of his crease with a wild swipe as Malik's delivery turned sharply to beat Mustard. It was a clear chance for a stumping but Akmal made a mess of it. Social media had a field day after that. Kamran Akmal Wicket keeping - Then, Now & Forever.....
