Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam was involved in a rather funny incident during his side’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against Karachi Kings on Monday. The incident took place ahead of the start of Karachi Kings’ chase when Babar was walking out to field, with Rovman Powell walking besides him and talking to the commentators. Babar was arranging the field for the start of the second innings, with the spider cam following him. However, he got scared by the spider cam’s movement as he thought that the device might hit him.

The incident went viral on social media.

Meanwhile, Peshawar Zalmi qualified for the PSL playoffs after beating Karachi Kings by 2 runs.

Captain Babar scored 51 off 46 balls to help his team post 147/6. In response, Karachi Kings could only manage 145/5, falling short by 2 runs.

Babar has been under pressure since the ODI World Cup 2023. He lost his Pakistan cricket team captaincy amid struggles with form in international cricket.

Recently, in a social media video, a group of fans cane be heard jeering at Babar .

The fans were heard as referring to Babar Azam as ‘Zim Babar’. After some time , Babar Azam stared back at them and even came close to throwing a bottle of water.

Recently, former Pakistan cricket director Muhammad Hafeez claimed that ex-captain, Babar Azam and foreign coaches Mickey Arthur and Grant Bradburn had given team fitness lowest priority in the lead-up to the ODI World Cup in India. Pakistan, under then-skipper Babar, had failed to make it to the semifinal knockout round, losing five of the nine league games and finishing fifth.

It was a tough night for Karachi Kings at the Pakistan Super League against Peshawar Zalmi on Monday. Despite chasing a low target of 148, Karachi Kings fell short by two runs. Babar Azam scored a half-century to guide Peshawar over 145. In reply, Karachi Kings’s chase withered away despite a 30-ball 41 up the order by Tim Seifert. Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik scored 22 off 25 balls and was bowled by Afghanistan star Naveen-ul-Haq. Malik’s wife Sana Javed was present at the stadium and was stunned after Malik was clean bowled.

In January, Sania Mirza’s family confirmed that the Indian tennis icon and Shoaib Malik have separated, a day after Pakistani cricketer announced his third marriage with actor Sana Javed. Their split marked the end of a high-profile union that had generated huge interest among sports lovers from the two countries. The 41-year-old Malik then posted his wedding picture with Sana on social media platforms.

“Sania has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. However, today the need has arisen for her to share that Shoaib and she have been divorced for a few months now. She wishes Shoaib well for his new journey ahead!,” read the statement issued by Mirza’s family.

“At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well-wishers to refrain from indulging in any speculation and to respect her need for privacy,” the statement added.

The revelation came amid long-standing rumours and speculation surrounding the strained relationship between Malik and Mirza, who got married in April 2010 in the Indian player’s hometown of Hyderabad.

The rumours gained momentum when Malik recently unfollowed Mirza, 37, on Instagram, a move that further fuelled speculation about their marital discord.

They have a five-year-old son Izaan, who is currently living with Mirza.

Mirza, in an Instagram post, had alluded to personal struggles.

“Marriage is hard, Divorce is hard. Choose your hard. Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard, Choose your hard. being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard,” she posted in an instagram story.

“Communication is hard. No communicating is hard. Life will never be easy. I will always be hard. But we can choose our hard. Pick wisely.”

Celebrated as one of India’s greatest tennis players, Sania announced her retirement from professional tennis last year after a illustrious career spanning two decades.

She won six Grand Slam titles in doubles and mixed doubles events.

Quetta Gladiators mystery spinner Usman Tariq caught all the limelight during his side’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against the Karchi Kings recently. Tariq, a mystery spinner, struck twice in an over, leaving the batters, fans, and even Gladiators mentor Sir Vivian Richards in disbelief. Tariq, who would pause during his action before delivering the ball, removed Tim Seifert and James Vince in the first and last ball of the seventh over of Karachi’s innings. Tariq trapped both Seifert and Vince LBW with his bizarre action, which was deemed illegal by fans on social media.

Here’s how internet reacted:

Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq opened up on Tariq’s action, saying that his accuracy makes him a difficult bowler to play, especially for the right handers.

“He (Taqir) has a carrom ball and on top of that, he is accurate. The spin is so subtle that it is just enough to beat the bat. For the right-handers, he is difficult to face,” Misbah said on A Sports.

“If you play him like an off-spinner where the ball comes back in which we have tried and seen but all the batters make the same mistake when we think he is delivering the carrom ball. We try to play him in-line we plant our foot to play but him that subtle turn will get to you LBW or bowled. When you are facing your first or second ball as a batter in your innings even if you pick it you will make a mistake some way or the other,” he further explained.

Speaking on Tariq’s challenges, Misbah suggested: “In PSL there are international players who have played a lot of world-class spinners which will be a challenge to him also they would do a video analysis on him”

Pakistan star Babar Azam on Wednesday surpassed the likes of Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli to become the fastest batter to reach the milestone of 10,000 T20 runs. He is the fastest to achieve the feat in terms of all – innings, matches and time taken. Babar raced to the landmark during his 72-run knock in his team Peshawar Zalmi’s seven-wicket defeat to Karachi Kings in Pakistan Super League. Ahead of the game in Lahore, Babar was only six short of the 10,000-run mark. Babar got there in 271 innings, 281 matches, and 11 years and 82 days.

West Indies legend Gayle reached the milestone in 285 innings, 290 matches, and 11 years and 215 days. Meanwhile, star India batter Kohli achieved it in 299 innings, 314 matches, and 14 years and 176 days.

Former Pakistan team director Mohammad Hafeez recently disclosed details about the conversation he had with star batters Babar and Mohammad Rizwan during the recently concluded T20I series against New Zealand.

Pakistan avoided a whitewash during the five-match T20I series by registering a 42-run victory in the final game to end their tour on 4-1.

During the first three games of the series, Babar showed glimpses of returning to his peak after going through a barren run in last year’s World Cup and the Test series against Australia.

Against the Kiwis, the experienced batter registered scores of 57, 66 and 58. Overall in the series, he amassed 213 runs at an average of 42.6.

Hafeez opened up about the conversation he had with Babar during which he stressed the importance of contribution from each player which plays a major role in the team’s achievements.

“You are a great player, you are a wonderful player, and you are playing great cricket; however, you have to develop the Pakistan team,” Hafeez said in an interview, as quoted from Geo News.

The former team director suggested Rizwan and Babar embrace positional changes. He went on to reveal that he appreciated Babar’s talent and potential but urged him to play at the number three spot rather than opening for the team.

“We need to develop a team, and for that, I want you to come at number three because you have been playing this role in the ODI cricket for the last six years,” Hafeez added.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) began on February 17. Several high-profile international cricketers have pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) due to the overlapping of dates with other franchise-based tournaments and many cricket boards denying permission to their players to compete in domestic T20 competitions. All the six franchises have been hit hard with several players opting for the Bangladesh Premier League, ILT20 and SA20 leagues.

PSL side Multan Sultans have lost several players they had initially signed up for the upcoming season, with England pace bowler Reece Topley being the latest to pull out due to an injury.

In the absence of international stars, a lot of the attention in on the Pakistan stars. Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik is playing for Karachi Kings in the PSL and recently in a match against Multan Sultans, he top-scored for his team with a 35-ball 53. Despite his half-century, Karachi Kings lost the match by 55 runs. In attendance in the match was Shoaib Malik’s wife Sana Javed. The two recently got married. Their marriage news was widely shared on social media as Shoaib Malik had split with Indian tennis Icon Sania Mirza. 

Talking about the tournament, a PSL franchise owner has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to revisit the tournament window, as it is not possible to get big players when three leagues are happening on after the other.

“The SA20 ended recently and the ILT20 concludes on the day the PSL begins, so it is getting difficult to sign big players now,” he said on condition of anonymity.

He also pointed out that January-February is a busy season for international cricket series. Sri Lanka are playing a series against Afghanistan, South Africa are in the middle of a two-Test series against New Zealand while West Indies are playing a series against Australia.

“There is an acute need to change the PSL window, else it will lose its charm if we don’t get big overseas names,” he added.
