Iftikhar Ahmed smacked Wahab Riaz for six sixes in final over
Wahab Riaz pleased with Iftikhar Ahmed's batting despite being hit for six...
Shadab Khan, the skipper of Islamabad United, reacted to Iftikhar Ahmed hitting six sixes of Wahab Riaz during the exhibition match between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi on Sunday at the Bugti Stadium in Quetta.
Wahab gave Zalmi the perfect start by dismissing Ahsan Ali and Umar Akmal in the second over, but Quetta fought back to post a respectable total.
Meanwhile, Iftikhar hit Wahab for six sixes in the final over of the innings to ensure that Quetta ended on a high note. In 50 balls, the right-hander scored an unbeaten 94 runs.
It is worth noting here that Wahab was recently appointed as Punjab’s caretaker sports minister.
Meanwhile, Shadab took to Twitter to respond to Iftikhar’s criticism of the newly-appointed sports minister.
“Great to see the love and support shown by the people of Quetta. They deserve the best,” he added.
