Indian all-rounder Axar Patel pulled off a fantastic direct hit run out to dismiss Imam ul Haq in the 10th over of their match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday.
Introduced into the bowling attack, Kuldeep bowled a regulation full length delivery that Imam stepped down to and guided to mid on. Imam was keen to show intent and rushed for a run, but the ball picked Axar inside the 30-yard circle, who rattled the stumps with a tremendous hit on the move and got India their second wicket of the match.

India suffered an early setback due to the injury to Mohammed Shami, as the experienced pacer walked off the field after bowling three overs. This led to captain Rohit Sharma shaking up the attack, bringing in Hardik Pandya, Axar, and Kuldeep into the attack.
