What did Lahore Qalandars do to the ball?

Tampers are high among the PSL-watchers as Lahore Qalandars await the official word to get the ball on their court.

Just a day ago, twitter was found to be echoing with crickets-noise silence when it came to PSL's 11th edition hype.

However, today’s match played between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars – the well-celebrated rivalry, the el-classico of PSL – attracted the attention of sitting-at-home crowd in a way that Lahore Qalandars fans would not have wished, along with the backed-by-evidence hurls of one-sided rivalry.

Well, the game started pretty normally, with KK bowlers doing a great job of restricting their opponents to 128.

Second innings, starting with Shaheen’s first-over heroics, went normally as well until the last over when Haris Rauf was chosen to cause the death of bowling….

excuse the slip of fingers on the keyboard…death bowling.

What happened next could be analysed by starting with guessing the state of mental condition LQ stepped onto the field with. The top theory could be: The Flying Kings showing up in replicas of Islamabad’s jerseys might have reminded Lahore Qalandars of the hot-Sherus preventing their trophies hat-trick in 2024. Seeing Azam Khan keeping the wickets probably made it worse for their sentiments.

The matter of 5-runs penalty + mid-match ball replacement is currently under investigation with Fakhar Zaman and other members found near the ball (not Warner- he was in the opponent’s team) under the hot radar.

Now we await the official statement for who let the dawgs out (something that wouldn’t have happened if Haris Rauf could be trusted with last-over bowling)

Rauf Rauf- 0

Rauf (Rough) Ball- 1

In current twitter lingo: they kind of blew their job, gotta reflect on that as a team. (jokes apart of course)
