In a shocking twist at the Asia Cup 2023, Fakhar Zaman’s act of heroism didn’t go unnoticed. As he gallantly helped the groundstaff cover the pitch during the rain delay, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) couldn’t resist but reward him in the most unexpected way possible.

Zaman’s “good luck charm”

In a move that left both teams raising their eyebrows higher than a well-flighted spinner, the ACC decided to grant Fakhar an extra batting chance. That’s right, folks – if Fakhar Zaman happens to get bowled during the second innings, he’ll be back for another swing at the crease when the rain clouds finally decide to stop their endless game of hide and seek.

As you can imagine, the Indian team’s acceptance of this decision was about as genuine as an LBW appeal on a beach cricket pitch. They say cricket is a gentleman’s game, but in this case, it seems more like a comedy sketch.
