Celebrations went out of hand in the Pakistan Super League 2025 match between the Multan Sultans and the Lahore Qalandars on Wednesday, with Ubaid Shah taking the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
The Multan Sultans pacer, Ubaid Shah, who is also the brother of the Pakistan international star, Naseem Shah, played the starring role with the ball as he finished as the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets whilst conceding 37 runs in his four overs. He managed to get rid of the likes of Fakhar Zaman, Daryl Mitchell and Sam Billings.
After getting Billings’ wicket, Shah got a little too excited as he accidentally smacked his teammate and wicket-keeper, Usman Khan, amid celebrations. The keeper was down for a moment, and the blow he copped did not cost them much in the end. The celebration looked similar to the WWE superstar, Roman Reigns’ signature move, the Superman Punch.
Even the Multan team members were seen laughing at the hilarious turn of events while Ubaid was shocked by what went down as he eventually ended up apologising to his teammate.
Their win was set up by Yasir Khan, who scored a blistering 87 in 44 balls laced with six boundaries and as many maximums, along with a quickfire 40 by Iftikhar Ahmed to power the Multan-based franchise to 228 runs in the first innings.
For the Lahore Qalandars, it was Sikandar Raza who proved to be the shining light as the side struggled to find partnerships in the top order. Sam Billings was able to score 43 in 23 balls, but the Shaheen Afridi-led side ended up falling short in the end.
The Mohammad Rizwan-led side managed to get the win by 33 runs to give them their first win of the ongoing season after playing a total of four games.
Multan will be back in action today as they gear up for their fifth game of the season, which is against the undefeated table-toppers Islamabad United under the leadership of Shadab Khan at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, April 22, at 8:30 PM (IST)
