The Pakistan Super League is finally finished, as the Lahore Qalandars have won the title for the first time. At the end of the final, a hug between Qalandars and Sultans leaders Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan demonstrated why Pakistanis are so emotionally invested.
It was a night to remember for Lahore fans, as their beloved Qalandars erased the agony of years of failure by upsetting favourites Multan Sultans by 42 runs at Gaddafi Stadium on February 27.
Captain Shaheen took to Twitter to express his thanks for the Qalandars’ first win in seven years, and he demonstrated genuine sportsmanship by appreciating their opponents as well.
Shahid Afridi welcomed his future son-in-law, saying, “The entire Qalandars squad.”
