Pakistan national cricket team all-rounder Salman Agha scored a magical try in the field during the first test against West Indies cricket team. The first match of the series between the teams was played at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan.
Pakistan national cricket team came up with a magical effort with the ball in the first test to complete a magnificent victory in the first series. One of the main reasons for the win was the contribution of the spinners, especially Sajid Khan and Noman Ali.
But this would not be possible without the support of the players on the field. The Pakistan national cricket team were exceptional in the field as they picked brilliant catches but the best came from all-rounder Salman Agha at slips to remove Kevin Sinclair.
Abrar Ahmed produced a brilliant leg kick with extra bounce off the off stump when the ball took a sharp turn and caught the shoulder of the bat. Kevin Sinclair went off the back foot to save as the ball flew to the right of Salman Agha, who was on the slip.
Salman Agha went sideways and went into an acrobatic dive with his right arm outstretched and the ball stuck. He finished the tumbling and then went to flood it for the attention of his friends. Before celebrating in a unique way.

Man of the match should be Rizwan and Saud for batting in the first innings and also Masood – Sajid Khan
Sajid Khan, who was adjudged man of the match for his performance, said Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel deserved the award for the way they batted in difficult conditions. He also spoke about his plans and said:
“Credit to Aaqib [Javed] bhai and management. Man of the match should be Rizwan and Saud for batting in the first innings and also Masood in the second. There were a lot of upheavals on the field. I spoke to our bowling coach after the first innings – I conceded runs later in the spell. I slowed the pace further in the second innings and controlled the runs better.”
