'Does It Run In The Family?': Ravi Shastri Asks Wasim Akram, Takes Brutal Dig At Pakistan Batters After Imam-ul-Haq's Run-Out In IND vs PAK CT 2025 Clash

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri took a brutal dig at Pakistan's run-out statistics after Imam-ul-Haq suffered the mode of dismissal in the Champions Trophy 2025 clash at the Dubai International Stadium. With Shastri mentioning how Inazamam-ul-Haq has been run out 40 times in his storied international career, he hilariously asked Akram 'Does it run in the family?'

Imam, who laboured to 10 off 25 deliveries, went for a suicidal run in Kuldeep Yadav's first over by nudging one to mid-on and ran. However, Axar Patel fired a direct hit to catch the southpaw well short of his crease and the Pakistani batter hardly even waited for the umpire's decision. Meanwhile, the moment between Akram and Shastri came when they were doing commentary.
