The ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has become the talk of the town these days. From some brilliant knocks to some controversial moments, the T20 league has been gaining a lot of attention from fans. In a recent match between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United, a hilarious incident was captured which left the audience in splits. Islamabad defeated the Gladiators by 63 runs in their previous match. Opting to bat first, Islamabad posted a whopping total of 220/6 in 20 overs.

During the third over of Islamabad's innings, pacer Mohammad Hasnain delivered a yorker to Shadab Khan and ran towards the striker's end, preventing the batter from taking a single. The Islamabad skipper then pretended to tackle Hasnain, after which wicketkeeper and Gladiators captain Sarfaraz Ahmed joined in and acted as if he was going to hit Shabad.
This incident went viral on social media as the fans were left entertained by their funny antics.
