Karachi Kings’ seasoned pacer Hasan Ali etched his name into PSL history in Season 10, claiming the title of the tournament’s all-time leading wicket-taker. The right-arm speedster outshined Wahab Riaz’s long-standing record, establishing a new milestone in Pakistan’s top-tier T20 competition.
Karachi Kings’ stunning victory
Hasan Ali achieved this landmark during Karachi’s dominant 56-run win over Quetta Gladiators in a Friday night showdown at the National Stadium. Batting first, the Kings made a competitive total of 175/7 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, Quetta Gladiators struggled to pick up the pace and could only manage 119/9 thanks to some disciplined bowling from the Karachi attack.
