PSL Ko Laga Jhatka! Motie Out, Lahore Qalandars Ko Mila Sri Lankan 'Gamechanger'!
Cricket ki duniya mein har din naya twist aata hai, aur ab
Pakistan Super League
(PSL) ke defending champions
Lahore Qalandars
ke saath bhi kuch aisa hi hua hai! Naya season shuru hone se pehle hi ek major jhatka laga hai, lekin kya yeh jhatka unke liye blessing in disguise banega, ya fir ek naye 'mushkil' ki shuruaat?
The Inner Story / Asli Maajra
Asli maajra yeh hai ki
West Indies
ke left-arm spinner,
Gudakesh Motie
, ne
PSL
se apna naam wapas le liya hai. Unki signing
Lahore Qalandars
ke saath hui thi, jo ki season ke pehle match mein naye franchise
Hyderabad Kingsmen
se takrayenge.
Motie
ka yeh sudden pull-out ka reason,
West Asia crisis
se juda hai.
Recent
T20 World Cup
se
March 1
ko knock out hone ke baad se hi
West Indies
ki team
Kolkata
mein fansi hui thi. Airspaces band hone ya limited hone ki wajah se, unhe ghar lautne mein kaafi mushkil hui. Finally, pichhle do dinon mein unhe
commercial flights
mil paayi hain.
Ab jab
Motie
ghar laut paaye hain, toh unhone
PSL
se hattne ka faisla kiya hai.
Lahore Qalandars
, jo pichhle teen saalon se championship ki hawa mein udd rahe hain, ab ek naye challenge ke saath ground par utrenge. Sources ki maane toh, unhone
Dunith Wellalage
ko sign karne ka pakka kar liya hai. Yeh
Sri Lanka
ka 23-saal ka left-arm spinner,
Motie
ka 'like-for-like' replacement mana ja raha hai.
Wellalage
ka recent
T20 World Cup
mein performance kaafi solid raha hai. Interestingly,
Wellalage
team mein apne
T20I captain Dasun Shanaka
ko bhi join karenge, jinhe
Qalandars
ne auction mein kharida tha.
PSL
mein
West Indies
ke kisi aur player par is travel chaos ka asar nahi hua hai, as
Motie
was the only one signed from their World Cup squad. Same goes for
South African
players, jo bhi ghar lautne mein stuck the. Toh, all eyes on
Lahore
: kya yeh naya signing unke liye asli 'Gamechanger' banega ya fir ek aur 'kismat ka khel'?
Analysis & Numbers
Dunith Wellalage
ne recent
T20 World Cup
mein
8 wickets
chatkaaye.
Unka economy rate
7.22
raha, jo
Motie
se aadhe run se bhi zyada behtar hai.
Wellalage
sirf bowler hi nahi, ek promising
lower-middle-order batter
bhi hain, jinhone apni batting mein steady improvement dikhaayi hai.
Lahore Qalandars
defending champions hain, pichhle
chaar mein se teen titles
jeet chuke hain.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Well,
Lahore Qalandars
ke liye yeh ek 'unexpected turn' hai, par cricket mein aise hi hota hai.
Motie
ki majboori samajh sakte hain, kisko pasand hai ghar se door fansa rehna? Lekin
Wellalage
ka aana ek solid move lag raha hai. Numbers bolte hain, aur
Wellalage
ka T20 World Cup performance unhe Motie se ek kadam aage hi dikhata hai. Ab dekhte hain, kya
Qalandars
ki yeh 'jugaad' unki championship run ko continue kar paati hai, ya fir yeh season unke liye 'naya sawaal, naya jawaab' lekar aata hai!
PSL
ke 'Defending Champions' ko pata chalega ki trophy defend karna kitna mushkil hota hai, especially jab aisi drama chalti rahe. All the best,
Lahore
, you're gonna need it!
