England were reeling at 107 for 6 in the second innings of the Test when Haseeb came out to bat with injury. He stood there for almost 44 overs and played 156 balls for his half-century.
Though, he could not help his team save the Test but his gritty and gutsy innings was widely appreciated.
Virat too lauded his patient knock and looked impressed with the way the youngster shifted gears when he started to run out of partners.
Meanwhile, the 19-year-old has been ruled out of the series and has gone back home for his hand surgery.
