"Short Fused" Pakistani Pacer's Moment Of Madness Draws Flak From Ex-Cricketer. Watch
The pacer conceded 23 runs in his first two overs and gave away an overthrow after losing his cool.
Quetta Gladiators pacer Sohail Khan had a forgettable evening during his side's Pakistan Super League (PSL) match against Karachi Kings on Thursday. Sohail conceded 23 runs in his first two overs and gave away an overthrow after losing his cool at the batter. In his first over, Sohail was hit for two fours. In his second over, he was clobbered for a six and a four off consecutive deliveries. However, on the final ball of his second over, Sohail, who seemed visibly frustrated, threw the ball back at the batter, Tim Seifert.Â
Sohail's moment of madness led to four extra over throws as the ball went over the Seifert and the keeper's head. A furstrated Sohail covered his face in disbelief.

"This is almost typical Sohail Khan. All throughout his career, he has a short fuse. And he's been pumped down the ground, well... he's made sure he conceded another boundary," former Pakistan cricketer Bazid Khan said on-air.
There was no relief for Sohail in his second spell as he ended with figures of 0/36. Karachi Kings went on to post 165/8 in 20 overs.
Abrar Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for Quetta, taking 3/31 while Akeal Hosein and Usman Tariq bagged a couple each.
In reply, Quetta Gladiators chased down the total off the last ball. Jason Roy and Sherfane Rutherford slammed half-centuries while Saud Shakeel and Hosein played vital cameos which saw the Gladiators prevail.
Gladiators are currently second in the table with eight points, only two behind leaders Multan Sultans.
