However, while the entire country seemed to be in a state of celebration during and after the match, there is one Pakistani who probably went home a very unhappy person. Yes, you guessed it, we’re talking about poor, poor Kamran Akmal.
Just when Islamabad United was four wickets down and in a bit of a fix, Kamran Akmal became an unlikely hero for his opponents when he dropped the match winning catch, ensuring the win for Islamabad.

With Akmal as their muse, the meme-makers had a field day!

This one was brutal!
We can’t stop laughing!
Humour aside, Kamran Akmal had a great run during PSL 3 and there was chatter about his return to the national team. However, with that dropped catch, it seems, we won’t see Akmal play for Team Green any time soon.
