Hasan Ali came out of nowhere and ran past the interviewer and Azam Khan. Zainab Abbas stepped back as she was frightened by Hasan Ali’s act and later laughed.
Hasan Ali is one of the wittiest characters on the field and off the field and he is often caught doing such freaky things.
Quetta Gladiators got handed their 4th defeat of the season
So far the season hasn’t gone the way Quetta would want. They have played 5 games till now in which they have already tasted defeat 4 games. Their come-back chances are looking very vague as the team looks less confident.
Now to get the confidence back in the team they need some heroic individual performance from anyone.
