In our era, it was said about the game of cricket that it is a “by-chance game”. I am talking about the period from 1974 to 1999. Then the times changed and the rules and rules of this game also changed. By-chance has evolved into a pro-technical game. In this field, the player who enters the field with technique is very successful, and then he makes zero and sometimes double century by taking the help of this technique, the same situation is connected with bowlers. ICC which is the biggest rule making body of cricket and it keeps changing the rules with time. Under the law made by him, cricket is being played in today’s environment. Now it will be a matter of luck and victory. They say that “passion can turn the dice at any time in any game” which we saw during the performance of the teams participating in the 9th Pakistan Super League and this tournament. If re-examined, out of the six teams that participated in this tournament, four teams dominated the entire tournament based on their best performance. During these played matches, there was never any team in and out cycle, which team would come up and which team would be left behind.
On March 18, the final of the 9th Pakistan Super League was played in Karachi. On the day of the final, I was talking to my friend (Muhammad Usman, director of news “New News”) that there will be a big match today, but Multan Sultans. After seeing the performance, my opinion is that Multan Sultans will take the final this time, while Pai Ji was of the opinion that it will be a one-sided match, and then at the beginning of the match at night, Multan Sultans, who dominated the entire tournament, It seemed that courage was lost and could not be imagined that it would be piled up in the final and I also thought that the glittering trophy lying on the field would definitely leave its mark on the Multan Sultans side and they would go home with the trophy today. That it was their right that they reached the final only after their excellent performances throughout the tournament. Then there was a time during the same innings when Multan Sultans were dismissed for 127 and then at the crease when Iftikhar Aka Chacha came, he scored 32 in 11 balls to take the score to 159. So I called Pai Ji at night.
“Pai Ji came to drink, Multan did not go to Tsi Jatgai O…Had ho Gayi Thahadi…!”
I said at the beginning of the column that when fate favors you, then at any moment, the chandelier of victory turns into defeat and hangs it on your forehead. That is, the end of the match became sensational at once and Multan Sultans came back into the game and at one point in the position of ball one score, the heartbeats of both teams felt stopped and then fate might be jealous of Shadab instead of Rizwan. had been Shadab Khan gave Islamabad the trophy for the third time on the last ball of this match. The match was going to be one-sided and it was expected that at least a big score would be seen for the match but even in this one-sided match it was seen that Multan Sultans would win the losing match. Or Islamabad will be able to taste the intoxication of victory. It was a very exciting moment that Multan Sultans were running with determination to reach the destination, that destination came right in front of them, but unfortunately, these steps suddenly became difficult and the Sultans were defeated in another final. Even after playing, they returned home without the trophy. We all saw Mohammad Rizwan walking towards the pavilion with his head bowed and Naseem Shah celebrating the most valuable wicket of the match. At the beginning of the match, technology suddenly came in the middle and that ball was declared ‘no ball’. Fate helped Rizwan at the right time. But Rizwan could not help himself. Teams are always afraid of such a finals collapse if most of their victories have revolved around one or two characters. Then, in terms of performance, the success of Sultans in this season has generally depended on the batting of Muhammad Rizwan and Usman Khan, while Osama Mir and Muhammad Ali have been overshadowed in the bowling, but the template of victory that Multan Sultans had prepared, Muhammad Rizwan The character was so prominent that it was not possible to complete the cricket story without him. Whether he plays a blistering innings to provide a platform for a tough collection, whether he pulls through a struggling innings in traditional style to hold an edge, his presence at the crease was indispensable for Multan Sultans. But United’s research And the data-based approach left Mohammad Rizwan so helpless in this most important battle that despite getting a chance, he remained a victim of suffocation and was ultimately crushed by this suffocation. The second key to Multan Sultans’ sizzling performance was Usman Khan, who is adept at both unconventional and conventional batting. They also failed.
And the last thing…!
We congratulate the Pakistan Cricket Board for organizing and catering a major tournament in a beautiful manner and giving Pakistan cricket a boost.
