KARACHI: Karachi Kings’ top-order batter Leus du Plooy praised the local talent in Pakistan after his side’s PSL 9 clash against Islamabad United yesterday.
While talking to the media after the match, Du Plooy shed light on his experience of playing in the PSL for the first time.
“It is my first time here but Mickey Arthur told me a lot about PSL. It is an unbelievable experience to be part of it and I rate this league very highly,” expressed Du Plooy.
“I faced some of the net bowlers and I am amazed to see the local talent here,” he added.
Du Plooy also acknowledged the mistakes during his side’s loss against Islamabad United and appreciated Colin Munro for his knock.
“In Karachi, it is easier to play in the powerplay and then the pitch gets tougher in the middle overs, but we could not take advantage of the conditions.
“They [Islamabad United] played well in the powerplay in both innings, especially [Colin] Munro, he played exceptionally.
He also appreciated the leadership skills of Karachi Kings’ captain Shan Masood, with whom he knitted a 40-run stand for the second wicket.
“Shan Masood is a great leader and I enjoyed batting with him.”
Karachi Kings will face Quetta Gladiators today in their fifth match in the ongoing PSL 9.
