Quetta Gladiators pacer Mohammad Amir was all pumped up after dismissing Peshawar Zalmi skipper Babar Azam for a duck in match number two of PSL 2025 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Chasing a huge target of 217 runs, Babar tried to drive a good length delivery by Amir on the last ball of the first over but couldn’t find a gap as Rilee Rossouw did no mistake in taking a catch at short cover.
Babar Azam went back to the pavilion without scoring any run facing two balls. After taking the wicket, Mohammad Amir did an aggressive celebration doing some kind of gesture to Babar. The fast bowler also acknowledged the fans sitting at the stands after taking a big wicket of Peshawar skipper. Babar was also left disappointed with his dismissal as it could be seen in a video.
