Updated - 23 Feb 2018, 07:34 PM
The third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) began on Thursday with a star-studded opening ceremony in Dubai on Thursday.
The ceremony was followed with the defending champions Peshawar Zalmi taking on newcomers Multan Sultans.
Multan Sultans sent shock waves throughout the league as they defeated defending champions Peshawar Zalmi by seven wickets in the season opener.
However, the player who stole the show in the match on social media was Wahab Riaz. Riaz took was seen supporting a mustache which has reminded fans of Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson.
Johnson supported a similar mustache during the 2013/14 Ashes.
Riaz revealed that the style helps him keep motivated. When asked if he kept the Mustache on being inspired by the Australian quick he said:
“See, it’s good to be inspired by anyone for anything that benefits you. And, if I’m inspired by Mitchell, then I’d love to say thank you to him.”
Johnson picked up 37 wickets in the 2013/14 Ashes series and almost single-handedly won the series and regained the Urn for the Aussies.
However, Twitteratis took this as an opportunity to troll the Pakistan fast bowler and grilled him.
Here is how Twitter reacted.The third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) began on Thursday with a star-studded opening ceremony in Dubai on Thursday.
