Commentators React

One of the commentators said, "My goodness me, what a catch! Was it the hit or the catch taken by this youngster? How cool was that? Took it really lightly, one-handed... Look at him, like he does this daily. He didn't even look at the ball going into his hand and he's not even smiling!"

PCB Takes Note

The video of the amazing catch went viral on social media and the internet users were praising Adnan. PCB took note of the youngster and announced the reward.

Big Dreams

There are reports that Adnan works at a hotel in Lahore to support his family. He also dreams of becoming a professional fast bowling all-rounder.
