In an extraordinary and bizarre incident during the ongoing County Championship Division Two match between Leicestershire and Glamorgan at Grace Road, Leicester, Glamorgan's left-hand batter Zain-ul-Hasan was dismissed in a highly unusual manner on May 24.

At the time, Glamorgan was 254-5, with Sam Northeast at the other end. The two batters were working to rebuild the innings after a setback at 190-2.
Facing Mike, who was bowling right arm around the wicket, Ul-Hasan received a searing yorker that hit his front pad. The fielding team immediately appealed for an LBW, believing the ball was on course to clip the leg stump. However, the umpire shook his head, indicating not out.
What followed was a stroke of sheer misfortune for Ul-Hasan. The ball, having struck his pad, ricocheted into the air. Ul-Hasan, regaining his balance, searched for the ball, possibly to kick it away from the stumps.
Unbeknownst to him, the ball had landed behind him and bounced back onto the stumps, dislodging the leg stump bail. The fielders celebrated as Ul-Hasan had to depart for just 1 run from 6 balls, despite the initial lbw appeal being turned down.
This incident underscores the unpredictable nature of cricket, where surprises are always around the corner. For Zain-ul-Hasan, it was a particularly unlucky dismissal, a moment that will be remembered for its oddity.
