Imam-ul-Haq's catch to dismiss Kusal Mendis was truly an extraordinary one, during the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Mendis, in red-hot form, had hit the ball high in the air and Haq kept his eyes firm and grabbed it near the boundary line. However, that catch has generated some controversy with fans pointing out that the boundary rope was pushed back from its original place. This is not the first time though. In Pakistan's match against the Netherlands, a picture went viral of the boundary rope pushed back during the second innings. Screamer!

'Cheating?'
Imam Ul Haq is cheating?
The boundary rope is back from its original place. Had it been at the original place it was a sixer.
