The “Player of the Tournament” had already earned plaudits for his loveable personality and humbleness from the Qalandar’s captain.
I have my utmost respect and admiration for this man. It's always a pleasure to share the field with him, be as teammates or as opposition. Always very competitive yet so humble and friendly, he's set the benchmark for everyone. A proper role model. pic.twitter.com/8Y6fzW4ylm

PSL Final was not the hotly contested affair many a spectator was hoping for.
Despite being the best side in the tournament, Rizwan’s Multan Sultan’s failed to turn up for the last game.
They were thoroughly outclassed by Lahore, losing by 42 runs.
