Pakistan National Cricket Team batter Imam-Ul-Haq looked furious after getting out while playing for Lions in the game against Panthers in the ongoing Champions Cup. The match between the two teams is currently taking place at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.

Although the Pakistan setup dropped Imam-Ul-Haq, he is making a vital impact on his team in the ongoing Champions Cup 2024. The left-hander came up with another magnificent effort with the bat for his team and played a solid innings, making his case strong for the National Cricket Team.

Imam looked in good touch and took his team off to a great start with the bat. He was pretty solid at the crease as he played some great shots in his innings, and with the way he was batting, he looked all set for a big ton, but that wasn't the case as he got out after slamming a half-century.

Shadab Khan, his Pakistan teammate, cut Imam-Ul-Haq's stay at the crease short by bringing himself into the attack in the 23rd over. The move paid off incredibly well as the Panthers captain brought his team back into the game with the wicket of a well-set batter.

Shadab Khan bowled a delivery to which Imam tried to cut, but he didn't have the proper connection. The ball caught the outside edge and was caught by keeper Usman Khan. The wicket made the bowler extremely delighted as he celebrated it wildly right at the face of the batter.

But what caught the attention of many was the reaction of Imam-Ul-Haq as he was back in the dressing room. As he reached the room, he vented out anger and was seen throwing his helmet and bat. He threw both bat and helmet before sitting on a chair with utter frustration.
