Umpire Aleem Dar, standing at the square leg, was hit on the legs by Haider Ali during the sixth T20I between Pakistan and England in Lahore.

In the last over of the powerplay in Pakistan’s innings, Haider Ali crunched a pull shot straight into back thigh of umpire Aleem Dar who jumps and turned to get out of the way but failed. Initially, Dar thought it was coming at his face but then the bowl dipped. It was a lucky escape for Dar.

It was not the first time Aleem Dar had taken a blow on his body. In Abu Dhabi T10 League, last year, Dar was hit on his head on the field during the match between Chennai Braves and Northern Warriors. Dar was hit on the head after a ball was thrown by an outfieder hit the back of his head.
