Usama Mir, representing Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), has made headlines in the current season with an exceptional achievement. In a match against Quetta Gladiators, Usama showcased remarkable skill and precision as a leg-spinner.
During the game, Usama delivered an outstanding performance by dismissing Mohammad Wasim Jr., further solidifying his position as the leading wicket-taker among spin bowlers in a single edition of the tournament. His bowling figures of three wickets for 22 runs in four overs were not only impressive but also crucial in contributing to his team’s success.
With this stellar display, Usama’s total wicket count for the season rose to an impressive 21, surpassing the previous record set by Rashid Khan, who secured 20 wickets in the preceding season while playing for Lahore Qalandars.
This achievement highlights Usama’s consistency and effectiveness throughout the tournament, showcasing his value as a key player for Multan Sultans.
It’s noteworthy that while Usama holds the record among spin bowlers, the overall record for the highest tally of wickets in a single PSL edition is held by Hasan Ali, who took an impressive 25 wickets during the 2019 season. Usama’s achievement adds to the excitement and competitive spirit of the PSL, demonstrating the talent and skill present in the league’s bowling department.
