Karachi Kings’ emerging fast bowler Fawad Ali has outpaced all others to become the quickest bowler of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10.
Fawad Ali set the speed gun ablaze in the PSL as he leads the charts for the fastest deliveries bowled in the ongoing edition.
The Swat-born speedster bowled a 149.75 kmph thunderbolt to Mohammad Rizwan during the Karachi Kings’ clash against Multan Sultans.
Fawad Ali has been impressive in the tournament so far, having not conceded a single six in the tournament.
Fawad Ali, a product of the Karachi Kings Talent Hunt Program, dismissed Quetta’s Hasan Nawaz for 35 to claim his first wicket in T20 cricket.
Fawad was part of the squad in HBL PSL 9 as a replacement for Tim Seifert. However, it was during his time at the Karachi Kings Academy, under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff, that he truly developed.
Fawad Ali progress earned him a place in the Emerging Category for PSL 10, and he has continued to grow with each passing game.
For the unversed, Fawad’s rise is the stuff of dreams. Starting out as a tape-ball cricketer back home in Swat, it was the Karachi Kings’ open trials in 2023 that changed the course of his life.
It’s worth mentioning that the Karachi Kings are currently in third place with six points, having won three out of six games.
The 2020 champions started the tournament with an emphatic victory against Multan Sultans, chasing a mammoth 235. The Kings also defeated Quetta Gladiators convincingly by 56 runs.
They will now face the bottom-ranked Multan Sultans in the upcoming fixture on May 1 at Multan Cricket Stadium.
