Islamabad United skipper Shadab Khan and his Karachi Kings counterpart Shan Masood were involved in a heated exchange during the PSL 9 game on Thursday in Rawalpindi. Both indulged in a verbal war as the on-field umpire had to intervene, with the video of the same going viral on social media.
The incident, which occurred during the 10th over of the run-chase, seemed likely over the DRS usage. Shadab believed that Masood had run out of time for taking the DRS, but the latter had still taken it against Agha Salman. With Shadab objecting against it, Masood wanted the United captain to stay out of it.
Shadab Khan and Shan Masood embrace after Islamabad United's comprehensive win:
Nevertheless, the two Pakistan cricketers embraced after the game, with Islamabad United emerging triumphant by 5 wickets. Batting first after losing the toss, Karachi Kings made 150 in their 20 overs as Kieron Pollard top-scored with 39, with Tim Seifert and James Vince making some contributions. Tymal Mills was the pick of the bowlers for the United with figures of 4-0-34-3.
In response, the United did have a stuttering start, but managed to get to the total, thanks to some useful partnerships from the middle-order batters. Skipper Shadab top-scored with 34 as the United got to the target with 8 balls to spare. The win propelled Shadab Khan's men to the 2nd spot in the points table behind Multan Sultans.
