The fixture between K♔arachi ꧟Kings and Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) was an intriguing one.
However, one instance in theꦍ match which will be etched in the memory of spectators, and also in the reels of bloopers this season.
Quetta Gladiator batsman Azam Khan (46) while reaching the crease during one of his runs, held the bat upside down.
In the end, it was the hജandle of the bat which slid inside the crease, instead of the toe-end of the bat, leaving everyone in splits.
Luckily, the ball di🌊d not hit the stumps directly and Khan managed to make his ground.

Despite mockery from commentator Rameez Raja and netizens due to his plump physique, it app💃ears none of the jibes seems to affect his batting.
Following his decisiv🔯e knock of 56 against Islamabad United, Azam, son of Moin K😼han, took the Gladiators over the line against Karachi Kings, chasing a challenging total of 157.

Mohammad Hasnain’s inspirational spell of 3/33, constantly put the brakes on the Kings’ proceedings, which restricted them to 156-9.
None of the Karachi batsmen were able to convert their starts into a substantial score. With the ball, the Karachi-based franchise threatened to take the ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚgame deep with the early wickets of Shane Watson, Jason Roy, and Ajma🍨l Shehzad.
However, former Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmad, in partnership with Azam, guided the Gladiators’ home, with a comfortable 5-wicket win.
