Haider took a one-handed stunner in Derbyshire’s match against Durham, which brought an end to a fine innings by opener, Michael Jones. Haider’s effort in the slip cordon was lauded by the cricket fans as they were caught by surprise at his lightning-quick reactions.
Check out the sensational catch:
The 22-year-old was signed by Derbyshire for the ongoing season of the County Championship. This is his first stint in the tournament, which provides him with a perfect opportunity to enhance his game in red-ball cricket.
Haider has so far scored 94 runs, including one half-century, at an average of 31.33 in the three innings he has played in the competition so far.
The flamboyant batter has lost his place in the national side after a string of poor performances at the top level. Haider has played 33 T20Is and 2 ODIs for the Men in Green, scoring 499 and 42 runs in the formats respectively.
