But injuries and erratic form have hindered his progress. 

Currently, Pakistan is playing a series against Sri Lanka and are trailing them by 1-0. The 2nd Test is ongoing and Pakistan will be chasing a target soon, trying to square the series.

Yes, he really did take 5 minutes to deliver one ball. The reactions from his captain and coach make it very evident that these were very frustrating 5 minutes. 

While they reacted on camera, here’s how fans reacted on Twitter:

Let’s just hope he gets back to the heights we know he’s capable of.
