Imad Wasim smoking
Imad Wasim, the seasoned all-rounder for Islamabad United and a former Pakistan international, left an indelible mark on the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final, both with his on-field heroics and an off-field incident that grabbed headlines. In a historic feat, Imad became the first player in PSL history to claim a five-wicket haul in the tournament’s pinnacle encounter. His bowling spell of 5/23 in four overs during the final against Multan Sultans showcased his skill and determination, earning him the accolade of player of the match.
However, it wasn’t just Imad’s cricketing prowess that made waves. During the 18th over of Multan Sultans’ innings, as Imad had completed his remarkable spell, a camera caught him smoking in the dressing room. The footage quickly went viral on social media, sparking discussions and debates. While the cameraman swiftly redirected the camera away from the scene, the images had already made their rounds online, overshadowing Imad’s stellar performance on the field.
Despite this off-field distraction, Imad Wasim’s contribution to Islamabad United’s success in the final cannot be overstated. With Multan Sultans setting a competitive target of 159 runs, Islamabad faced a daunting task, especially after encountering a middle-order collapse. However, Imad, along with Naseem Shah, showcased resilience and determination to steer their team to victory.

The match saw contributions from other key players as well. Martin Guptill’s half-century laid a solid foundation for Islamabad United’s chase, while Azam Khan provided crucial support in the middle order. However, it was Imad’s composure under pressure and ability to deliver in crunch situations that proved pivotal. His performance with the bat ensured Islamabad United crossed the finish line, clinching their third PSL title.
In securing the championship, Islamabad United etched their name in the annals of PSL history. Notably, they became only the second team, after Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, to win a tournament final after progressing through the eliminator stage of the playoffs format. Conversely, Multan Sultans endured heartbreak, suffering their third consecutive defeat in the final despite consistently reaching the summit clash since 2021.
While Imad Wasim’s smoking incident may have sparked controversy, it should not overshadow his remarkable display of talent and leadership on the cricket field. His contributions played a pivotal role in Islamabad United’s triumph, reaffirming his status as one of Pakistan’s premier all-rounders in the modern game.
