The Pakistani Cricket team has just won the third One Day International against Sri Lanka. This brings the series total in Pakistan’s favor with 3-0 and two more matches to go.
People were really excited about the spectacular debut of Imam-ul-haq during the match, last night
Imam scored a century, exactly and went on to win the “Man of the Match” trophy. Imam also became the third youngest male player to score a century during their debut match.

Many fans are particularly happy that Imam came in as a replacement for Ahmed Shehzad
Last time Ahmad Shahzad was dropped, we found Fakhar Zaman. This time we found Imam. His comebacks & getting dropped are good luck charms.

Many fans already have a dislike for Ahmed Shehzad and his “entertaining” antics so they were rather happy to see him not play. And when Imam-ul-haq gave such a surprising debut performance, they couldn’t have been more elated.
And these people have got some serious jokes about the replacement:
1. Like thisย firangi comedian who made an Imam joke
