In a crucial match between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators in the PSL 2024 tournament, a moment of indecision and miscommunication led to a significant drop catch, altering the course of the game. Quetta Gladiators' batsman Saud Shakeel, who had been in sublime form, smashed a delivery high into the air. However, what should have been a straightforward dismissal turned into a nightmare for the fielding side.

As the ball soared towards short mid-wicket, three fielders, including Mohammad Rizwan, David Willey, and Usman, converged to take the catch. It was David Willey's catch, but the presence of Usman at silly mid-off caused confusion and hindered Willey's ability to settle under the ball cleanly. The lack of communication between the fielders proved costly as Willey failed to grab onto the ball, allowing Shakeel a lifeline.
