As the summer is setting in, so is the heat a few players in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2018. For a moment, Lahore Qalandars bowler Sohail Khan could not control his emotions and vented out his anger at teammate Yasir Shah, throwing a ball at him. Khan did this to get the attention of Shah who was fielding in the deep mid-wicket region. This happened in the penultimate over of the match when Quetta Gladiators needed 30 runs to win from 9 balls.

Shah was obviously wasn’t happy with Sohail’s behaviour and lashed out at him. The ball could have hit his head as it missed by only a few inches. Before things could escalate, skipper Brendon McCullum intervened and tried to calm down the situation.

Here’s the video where the two can be seen exchanging a few words —

However, it all worked out in the favour of Lahore Qalandars as they won the match by 17 runs. Quetta Gladiators player Kevin Pietersen did not mince words while tweeting his reaction in which he also simultaneously took a dig at Sohail.

I think I witnessed the funniest moment of my cricket career tonight, when the bowler couldn’t get the attention of his boundary rider & threw the ball at him on the boundary…

UNBELIEVABLY HILARIOUS!

HERE IT IS!

He couldn’t get the attention of his boundary rider, so instead of shouting louder, he threw the ball at him!

Sohail bowled well in the death overs. He gave 30 runs from his quota of 4 overs. On the other hand, Shah’s spell was a little expensive as he leaked runs. But, most importantly he got the wickets of Rameez Raja and Anwar Ali early on in their innings.
