Former Pakistani cricket player Abdul Razzaq has made a significant assertion about how his ineffective performance during the Karachi Kings match on Sunday has affected the team as a whole, taking aim at his old teammate Shoaib Malik.
Having shared the field with Malik during his international cricket career, Razzak claimed the all-rounder did well, but not for his side, but rather for himself.
The former cricket player shared his opinions on the show “Harna Mana Hai,” saying, “A player is someone who plays for a team.”
The previous day, at the Multan Cricket Stadium, the Multan Sultans defeated the Karachi Kings with a commanding 55-run victory in the third match of Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9.
In the most recent league, Malik is a member of the Kings, which participated in its inaugural game of the current season.
Of the players, he was the best, hitting 54 runs off of 35 balls. That did not, however, help his team win because the Sultans’ bowlers were able to contain the Kings and limit them to 130/8 while defending a target of 186.
After Shan Masood, Malik’s captain, joined him during Kings’ innings, the two started their team’s comeback.
52 runs were scored by the hitters for the third wicket. However, Usama Mir removed Masood from the game in the ninth over.
Following the captain’s removal, Malik and Mohammad Nawaz had a one-sided partnership that resulted in 37 runs.
Nevertheless, Abbas responded with a dismissal of Malik off the subsequent delivery, keeping him as the Kings’ leading scorer with 53 from 35 deliveries, laced with two sixes and five boundaries.
Knowing that the side needed to increase its run rate, the all-rounder changed gears in the 12th over, hitting two boundaries and a six off deliveries from Iftikhar Ahmed.
Abbas Afridi’s first delivery of the 13th over gave him his fifty runs through a cover drive, but the Sultans’ bowler removed him off the ball.
