Sohail throws ball at Yasir for not paying attention

Sharjah - The third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) is turning out to be full of action and drama. So far, the fans have witnessed many close encounters between the teams. However, no one would have expected to witness what happened between Sohail Khan and Yasir Shah during Wednesday’s clash between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars. When the Lahore Qalandars were heading towards an easy win, in a bizarre incident, Sohail Khan who had been struggling to get the attention of Yasir Shah on the boundary, lost his cool and threw the ball at him. The throw missed leg-spinner’s head by a close margin and left him fuming. Yasir Shah, who was angry because of the incident, picked up the ball and threw it back in the bowler’s direction. The two players, who have represented Pakistan at the international level, were also involved in a heated exchange of words. Former New Zealand skipper and Lahore Qalandars skipper Brendon McCullum had to play peacemaker to calm down the tempers. Quetta Gladiators batsman Kevin Pietersen described it as the ‘funniest moment’ of his cricket career. “I think I witnessed the funniest moment of my cricket career tonight, when the bowler couldn’t get the attention of his boundary rider & threw the ball at him on the boundary…UNBELIEVABLY HILARIOUS!” the England batsman wrote on Twitter.
