Pakistan's star opener Fakhar Zaman was injured on the second ball of the first match of the Champions Trophy between Pakistan and New Zealand. Jaman had to go out after injury during fielding. At the same time, when Pakistan's batting came, Fakhar did not land in the opening. Well, he could not do this due to the ICC rule, but even when Fakhar came for batting, he was not able to walk and after struggling a lot on this pitch, he returned to the pavilion by giving his wicket cheaply by giving his wicket cheaply. .

It was difficult to walk, yet batting

Fakhar, who landed in the opening, came on the ground after Pakistan fell two wickets.

However, he was seen struggling on the pitch due to his injury. This surprised everyone because the Pakistani team broke all limits for victory and threatened the fitness of their own player.

There was a moment when the physio had to come on the field. It was believed that Fakhar could go out but he continued batting. His attempt was to put a boundary only on the pitch. In this, he was also seen to be successful in the beginning but this effort of Jaman did not work for long. Spinner Michael Bracewell bowled him on the score of 24 runs.

Jaman could hit only four fours in 41 balls.

Fakhar could not open due to this rule

Fakhar, who went out due to injury in the very first over of New Zealand's innings, returned to the ground in the 33rd over. According to the ICC rule, Fakhar spent less time on the field. Due to this, he could not come for batting for 20 minutes at the time of Pakistan's batting. Instead, Saud Shakeel started the innings with Babar Azam. But he was out early. Even now 20 minutes were not completed, so after this Mohammad Rizwan landed. Rizwan also returned to the pavilion cheaply.

After this, Zaman came to batting at number three. But he still could not take any advantage.
