LAHORE: Shaheen Shah Afridi has set Pakistan Super League (PSL) tournament record as he led Lahore Qalandars to their maiden victory.
The 21-year-old bowler became the youngest captain to win the PSL trophy as his team easily defeated the Multan Sultans in the PSL 2022 final at the Gaddafi Stadium.
The record was set by Mohammad Rizwan in 2021, when he won the PSL trophy at the age of 28.
This year in the PSL, the left-arm pacer was not just the captain and leader of Lahore Qalandars, but he was also a fantastic bowler.
This season, Shaheen Shah Afridi amassed 20 wickets in the league, topping the 19 wickets that Islamabad United skipper Shadab Khan had in 13 games. In addition, he had a fast pace and good line and length reading.
At Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Qalandars, the home team, defeated Multan Sultans by 42 runs on Sunday to win the Pakistan Super League (PSL) for the first time.
The Qalandars bowled out the Multan Sultans batting team for 138 runs, with captain Shaheen Shah Afridi claiming the most wickets with three.
The Qalandars elected to bat first and, in the 20 overs allotted, finished at 180-5 thanks to a late assault from Wiese and Harry Brook.
