Kamran Akmal has come under severe criticism from social media users after his dropped catch in the PSL final against Islamabad United.
The drop potentially cost Peshawar Zalmi the trophy as the Asif Ali, who Kamran gave a second chance, went on to strike three back-to-back sixes to see his team through.
Akmal is infamous for occasional fielding mishaps, which has cost Pakistan over the years and now Peshawar Zalmi are the ones on the receiving end.
Ever since Kamran’s unfortunate fumble, social media users have been busy criticising the wicket-keeper batsman.
Here are some of the meanest and funniest memes from across the internet.

The awkward moment when Kamran was asked by Rameez Raja to receive Kumar Sangakarra’s ‘Safe Hands’ award on the Sri Lankan’s behalf.

There were, however, several others who came to Kamran’s rescue and called for a stop to all the trolling.

Feel no bad @KamiAkmal23 bro, it just wasn't your day. You are a top class batsman and an amazing human being

Kamran is PSL’s only centurion and the highest ever run scorer
Lets not ridicule Kamran Akmal all of a sudden now… He had a bad moment under lots of pressure. But remember, #PeshawarZalmi reached the final only because of him. He won them really important games single handedly. Cricket hai, sports hai, hota hai. #WellPlayedKami
