'Inzy will get upset': Shastri and Gavaskar Poke Fun at Imam's Run-Out, Bring Inzamam-ul-Haq into Champions Trophy Discussion.

Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar did not hold back when they took a dig at Imam Ul Haq's run-out and linked it to former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq.

The episode occurred during Pakistan's innings on Sunday, after the men in green made an unsteady start in their Champions Trophy match against India.

Imam-ul-Haq (10) fell short of the crease by an Axar Patel throw. Batting under pressure, Imam tried to get off strike in the 10th over, but the ball went straight to Axar, who charged in and hit the stumps directly. Imam was well short of the ground despite putting in a dive.

This led to Shastri and Gavaskar ( who were on commentary ) recalling Inzamam-Ul-Haq's tryst with run-outs. Shastri also mentioned how Imam has been run out six times while Inzamam holds the record for being run out on 46 occasions in international cricket. For the uninitiated, Imam is the nephew of Inzamam.

Responding to it, Wasim Akram, who was also commentating, said, "No comment. Inzy will get upset. But I might be there somewhere as well. I wasn't the best runner in the world. It (Imam's run-out) was kind of a suicide run. There was no need for it. He was well set, and then that silly decision by Imam-ul-Haq. He is back in the dressing room."

Sunil Gavaskar then jokingly said, "Ravi, you asked whether it runs in the family? I think there's no run in it."

India XI: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav.

Pakistan XI: Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(wk/captain), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed.
