‘Nothing compares to what Roy delivered for us’ Shahid Afridi

KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain – Shahid Afridi, who is currently representing Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7, praised Jason Roy’s magnificent 116-runs knock against Lahore Qalandars.

Taking to Twitter, Afridi heaped praises on the astonishing knock which steered the Gladiators to the victory in the 15th match of the PSL 7.

“I have seen some amazing innings in the PSL, but nothing compares to what [Jason Roy] delivered for us,” the star all-rounder wrote.

 

Roy, who played his first match of the PSL 7 last night, stormed himself into the record book as the batter smashed the second-fastest century of the PSL. He took just 49 balls to reach the triple-figures.

In his astonishing inning, the right-handed batter smashed 11 boundaries and eight sixes. He also scored the third-highest individual score of the PSL history; scoring 116, led by the then Karachi Kings’ batter – Colin Ingram, who scored an unbeaten 127 against the Gladiators.
