Former Pakistani pacer Waqar Younis has praised Quetta Gladiators (QG) skipper’s ‘extraordinary innings’ against Islamabad United (IU) and called Sir Viv Richards’ hug to Sarfaraz Ahmed ‘jadoo ki jhappi’.
QG skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed played crucial innings for his side to a successful chase against IU during the first match of the franchise of the Lahore leg.
Ahmed scored 50 off 32 balls in the nail-biting match and was named Man of the Match for his extraordinary performance.
Praising the sensational knocks of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Waqar Younis said on Twitter that ‘jadoo ki jhappi’ from a great man himself, Sir Viv Richards after an extraordinary inning by Sarfaraz Ahmed.
He added, “Too good for red hot Islamabad United to handle. Things are heating up in a cold weather here in Lahore.”
