Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Aamir were the top scorers for Quetta Gladiators with 33 and 30 runs respectively. Hasan Ali, Mohammad Nabi, and Abbas Afridi each took multiple wickets for Karachi Kings. James Vince was awarded the Player of the Match for his outstanding performance.

For a bowler who has battled through injuries and tough times, this moment is everything. Hasan’s bold approach, his celebrations that fans adore, and his relentless spirit have made him a beloved figure in the PSL for almost ten years.

Now, with the record under his belt, he’s not just entertaining the crowd; he’s a record-holder. The seasoned pacer has been out of the Pakistan team for quite a while. But with performances like this, he’s definitely putting himself back in the conversation for a return to the national squad.
