Kamran Akmal brought back old memories with an easy catch drop during the first match of the Legends League Cricket (LLC) tournament between India Maharajas and Asia Lions.

It was the second over of India Maharajas' run-chase when Nuwan Kulasekara managed to find the outside edge of Naman Ojha. But unfortunately, Kulasekara couldn't get a wicket as Akmal dropped a sitter behind the stumps.

Akmal is often trolled for his poor glovework and seems like nothing has changed over the years. Kulasekara couldn't do much and laughed about it before returning to his bowling mark. 

Earlier in the match, the ex-Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter scored 25 runs off 17 deliveries while opening the innings for Asia Lions with T Dilshan. Lions ended up scoring 175/7 in 20 overs after Upul Tharanga's 66-run knock and captain Misbah-ul-Haq's 44 runs contribution.

But it wasn't enough as the Maharajas chased the target down in 19.1 overs. Yusuf Pathan was the top scorer with 80 runs, while Mohammad Kaif added unbeaten 42 runs.
