Inzamam-ul-Haq often faced criticism for being a slow runner between the wickets and a slow fielder. Though his slow running dd not obstruct his quest for batting glory, his bulk and inferior quality of fielding did have its fair share of detractors - more so as being Captain, he had to stay within the 30-yard circle resulting in important fielding lapses.

However, the Pakistani batting great did redeem himself with a couple of spectacular fielding instances. One of his best efforts came against India when he backpedalled to take a fantastic catch off Waqar Younis that dismissed Ajay Jadeja who could not believe he was out.

The commentator states his incredulity at the catch as he believed it would go over Inzamam’s head but the Pakistani legend almost nonchalantly leaped backwards and raised his right arm to take a stupendous catch.
