Incidentally, while Quetta Gladiators is coached by former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Moin Khan, his son Azam Khan is a batting mainstay of Islamabad United.

There was a point of time during his innings, that Azam gestured towards his father Moin after completing his half-century. Moin could be seen clapping with a straight-face.
