Pakistan National Cricket Team all-rounder Salman Agha came up with a magical effort on the field during the first Test against the West Indies National Cricket Team. The first game of the series between the teams took place at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.
Pakistan National Cricket Team came up with the magical effort with the ball in the first Test and completed the magnificent win in the series opener. One of the major reasons behind the win was the contribution of spinners, especially Sajid Khan and Noman Ali.
But it could not have been possible without the support of fielders on the ground. The Pakistan National Cricket Team were exceptional on the field as they picked brilliant catches but the best one came from the all-rounder Salman Agha in the slips to remove Kevin Sinclair.
Abrar Ahmed bowled a brilliant leg-break with the extra bounce from off-stump as the ball turned sharply and took the shoulder of the bat. Kevin Sinclair went on the back foot to defend as the ball flew to the right of Salman Agha, who was in slips.
Salman Agha went sideways and put in an acrobatic dive with an outstretched right hand and the ball stuck. He completed the tumble and then went to lap it up by seeking attention from his mates. Before celebrating in a unique way.

Man of the Match should be Rizwan and Saud for the knocks in the first innings, and also Masood – Sajid Khan
Sajid Khan, who won Player of the Match for his performances, said that Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel deserved the award for the way they batted in tough conditions. He also talked about his plans and said:
“Credit to Aaqib [Javed] bhai and the management. Man of the Match should be Rizwan and Saud for the knocks in the first innings, and also Masood in the second. There was a good amount of turn in the pitch. Spoke to our bowling coach after first innings – I conceded runs later in the spell. Slowed the pace down further in the second innings and controlled runs better.”
