Pakistan Super League's second edition is well under its way and has given us some memorable moments already.
Here's a compilation of the top five unforgettable moments so far:
1. Brendon McCullum’s captaincy in low-scoring thriller against Zalmi (watch video at the end)
February 12, 2017 will go down in the history of cricket as the night when fans witnessed a low-scoring thriller at its most incredible. Lahore Qalandars’ batting imploded against Zalmi, as the team got all out for 59 – the lowest ever total in PSL and the second-lowest in Pakistan’s entire domestic cricket records.
But what happened next was unreal. The Qalandars, guided by Brendon McCullum’s brilliant and aggressive captainship, fall just three wickets short in pulling off probably the most incredible win in the game’s history. The match got as intense as Zalmi lost one wicket after another; it wasn’t for the weak-hearted to watch.
2. What a catch..But what a selfie! (watch video and Photo at the end)
Peshawar Zalmi captain Darren Sammy took a stunner of a catch against Karachi Kings on Friday. But the fun began when he got back up after his incredible dive.
The skipper gathered his teammates and posed for a super cool selfie.
Except of course, he didn’t really have a phone. Pity, because it would have been an awesome team selfie.
3. Wrong career choice (watch video at the end)
England batsman Sam Billings, opening for Islamabad United against Lahore Qalandars on Saturday, nicked one to the boundary off Bilawal Bhatti’s delivery.
But did you see what actually happened? The dude headed the ball! It wasn’t pre-meditated, of course. But it probably made a lot of us think: Why isn’t he playing football for England instead?!
4. Morgan’s selfie with kids (watch Photo at the end)
One of the most heartwarming moments from the tournament was when England captain and Peshawar Zalmi batsman Eoin Morgan posed for a selfie with kids from Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital.
These brave little souls are in UAE on the invitation of Peshawar Zalmi owner Javed Afridi, where they have been watching their favourite teams and players live in action at the stadium.
5. Mohammad Irfan Jr’s first ever wicket.. Guess who? (watch video at the end)
Young Qalandar Mohammad Irfan Jr, one of the four youth selected from the Lahore Qalandars’ Rising Stars nationwide trials for PSL, made the best memory of his life when he bowled out none other than the England great Kevin Pietersen in just his second over.
Who wouldn’t want to claim KP as their first ever wicket? What a talented and lucky young man.
