Why fans are criticizing Imad Wasim after watching the viral video?
During the PSL 2024 final match between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United at the National Stadium in Karachi on Monday, Imad Wasim, the left arm orthodox spinner, was captured smoking on camera in the pavilion. This occurred immediately after he had left the field following a remarkable performance, claiming 5/23 while Multan Sultans’ batting order crumbled.
After completing his bowling spell in the 17th over, Imad Wasim exited the field, initially presumed to be taking a break after his exertions. However, he was observed smoking on camera while commentators praised his performance in the final. The incident took place just after Naseem Shah delivered the fourth ball of the 18th over with Multan’s scoreboard showing 127/9. Despite attempts to conceal the cigarette from the cameras, his efforts were futile.
