In the bustling arena of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024), one name has emerged as the best find of the season – Mohammad Ali, the talented pacer from Multan Sultans. With an impressive tally of 16 wickets in nine matches, Ali stands tall as the second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament. His standout performance came against Quetta Gladiators, where he showcased his bowling prowess with figures of 3/19, a testament to his skill and precision on the field.
Throughout the tournament, Ali has consistently delivered impactful performances, displaying his versatility and effectiveness with the ball. With an overall record of 34 overs bowled, conceding 274 runs at an average of 17.12 and an economy rate of 7.56, Ali has proven to be a formidable force in the bowling department. Notable among his achievements is his remarkable spell of 3/23 in Multan’s opening game against Karachi Kings, setting the tone for his stellar campaign.
Ali’s knack for picking crucial wickets was evident from the start, with his first breakthroughs coming against Islamabad United before replicating his success against Quetta Gladiators. His ability to maintain pressure on the opposition was further highlighted in matches against Lahore Qalandars, where he claimed 2/28, and Peshawar Zalmi, where he finished with figures of 2/23, showcasing his consistency and reliability.
Hailing from Sialkot, the 31-year-old right-arm medium-fast bowler made his Test debut against England in 2022, although he has only played two Tests thus far. However, his remarkable performances in PSL 2024 have undoubtedly caught the attention of selectors, potentially paving the way for opportunities in limited-overs cricket. As the season progresses, Mohammad Ali’s meteoric rise serves as a testament to his talent and determination, solidifying his status as one of the standout performers in PSL 2024.
