Veteran cricketer Mohammad Hafeez won his first-ever PSL title on Sunday as he powered Lahore Qalandars past Multan Sultans in the final. Defending a target of 181 runs, Hafeez bagged two wickets in four overs to help his side bowl out Multan Sultans for 138 in 19.3 overs. The all-rounder took to Twitter to silence his critics and wrote, "Tiger abhee Zinda hai". The phrase is also from Salman Khan's famous Bollywood movie Tiger Zinda Hai. Here is Hafeez' post:
