Six stars:
When we look at the strengths and performance of the six PSL franchises, it is difficult to say which of them will be successful. The two-time champions Islamabad United are in a state of shock at the moment. Their performance in the last edition was not impressive, but their form this season includes Hassan Ali. United hopes for a better performance from Hassan Ali.
Edition 2019 champion Quetta Gladiators will also try their best to improve their performance this year. In the edition 2020, the team of Quetta Gladiators had secured the fifth position. This time, the Gladiators are trying to restore their lost form in the event. Gayle, Faf du Plessis (Chris Gayle’s replacement) and Tom Banton have been added to the top order. Apart from them, league spinners Qais Ahmed and Zahid Mahmood will also add to Quetta’s power.
The Lahore Qalandars team was runners up in the 2020 edition and this time their team will be anxious to win the title. With the inclusion of Afghanistan’s superstar Rashid Khan, the team’s bowling attack has become even stronger. The presence of Pakistan’s speed star Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf are the lifeblood of this bowling attack. Prominent batsman Mohammad Hafeez will be impatient to score runs.
When the activities of HBLPSL were suspended due to the global epidemic, the team of Multan Sultans was at the first position in the points table but they could not maintain their performance in the play-off stage. Under Rizwan’s leadership, the Sultans have the ability to beat any team. The Sultans squad can be judged by the presence of Sohaib Maqsood and Shahid Afridi, including Chris Lane and Adam Laith.
In the last three editions, Peshawar Zalmi’s team has failed to win any title. This time the captaincy of the team is in the hands of Wahab Riaz, he is the most successful bowler in the history of HBLPSL, now his team’s spin. Attack Afghanistan’s Mujeeb-ur-Rehman and Pakistan’s young spinner Abrar Ahmed have taken over. Prominent wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal and T20 specialist Shoaib Malik are also ready to take Peshawar Zalmi to new heights.
Defending champions Karachi Kings will do their best to defend the title. In the form of Wasim Akram, the Karachi Kings have the best minds and Herschelle Gibbs has breathed new life into the team as head coach. The batting line-up of Karachi Kings has players like Babar Azam, Sharjeel Khan and Colin Ingram and super talented Muhammad Amir is the most prominent in the field of bowling.
