Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali may not be a regular in the national team of late due to a dip in his performances, however, whenever he plays, the crowd can’t have enough of him. Hasan is an entertainer on and off the field as he keeps the atmosphere light around him whenever he is playing, whether for Pakistan or in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). While his video of kissing Mubasir Khan on the cheek after the latter plucked a brilliant catch might have become a fan favourite, his antics cost him later in the day when he fell on to the ground in an attempt to surprise Azam Khan.
Hasan came from behind to jump and sit over Azam’s shoulder but he lost his balance and fell over straight on to the ground. As soon as Hasan was on the floor, Azam was in splits. Azam couldn’t control his laughter as the video of Hasan falling to the ground has gone viral.
A fan wrote that there should be a petition just for Hasan to play every day in the PSL just because of the entertainment he provides
As far as the match was concerned, even though Hasan was expensive, giving away 36 runs in his four overs and going wicketless but Islamabad United continued their impressive run to beat the Quetta Gladiators and sealed their spot in the playoffs. This was United’s fifth win of the competition and even though it seemed that the Gladiators had a good score on the board but the Men in Red chased down 180 runs.
Colin Munro starred for the Islamabad side with a 29-ball 63 before Azam and Faheem Ashraf contributed with crucial cameos of 35 and 39* respectively to take their side home. The Gladiators, on the other hand, became the first team to be eliminated having lost six out of eight games they have played.
