Pakistan reporter Zainab Abbas tracked down the man and sat with him to know why he reacted the way he did.

“It was just a straightforward catch. It was really disappointing to see it happen right in front of me getting dropped. It probably showed all over my face," he said.

But why didn't he heckle the cricketer especially when Ali was stationed metres away from him?

“I could see it land on his hand and then he dropped it, so it was really disappointing to see it happen right in front of me. And I couldn’t say anything because he had just come off a family tragedy, so I didn’t shout at him.”

The fan was referring to Ali's 19-month-old daughter's demise back in May after which he was recalled to the side for the World Cup tournament.

What a wholesome guy.
