Quetta Gladiators\u2019 experienced pacer Mohammad Amir reflected on dismissing Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam for the second time in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 at the Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday. Amir, who dismissed Babar for a duck when the two teams first collided in the ongoing edition of the marquee league, bamboozled the star batter with a well-crafted in-swinger. Aware of the importance of the dismissal, the left-arm pacer ran in jubilation before pulling out a unique celebration while facing the Gladiators\u2019 dugout. His early jolt, followed by Faheem Ashraf\u2019s five-wicket haul, led Quetta Gladiators to thump Peshawar Zalmi by 64 runs. While speaking at the post-match press conference, Amir was probed about the prized dismissal. The left-arm pacer, in response, asserted that such rivalries entertain people and that is his goal besides teasing the batters. \u201cWhether on the field or social media, these rivalries entertain people, especially in T20s\u2014that\u2019s the main goal,\u201d Amir said. \u201cAs a bowler, my role is to tease the batter and show aggression, while the batter aims to score runs. These things should happen, but within limits. My fans post my videos, Babar\u2019s fans post his. It\u2019s all great for the tournament,\u201d he added. Mohammad Amir then hailed Babar Azam as a \u2018big player\u2019 before revealing how he deceived the star batter. \u201cBabar Azam is a big player, there is no doubt in that. My plan is always to utilize the swing with the new ball. Whoever it is, Saim or Babar. I thought Babar would be ready for the outswinger, so I tried to bring it back in,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
