Pakistani fast bowler hilariously slaps wicketkeeper’s face while high-fiving during PSL 2025 match [Watch]
Multan Sultans pacer Ubaid Shah was involved in a hilarious moment during the team's PSL 2025 clash with Lahore Qalandars in Multan on Tuesday, April 22. The fast bowler ended up unintentionally slapping wicketkeeper Usman Khan during a wicket celebration.
Ubaid dismissed the well-set Sam Billings on the final ball of the 15th over. The English batter was caught by Kamran Ghulam at cover after a well-made 43 off 23 deliveries.
The bowler was pumped up after the wicket and in the heat of the moment, slapped Usman on the head while giving him a high-five. The wicketkeeper seemed in some pain after the unexpected blow.
Here's a video of the incident:
It is worth mentioning that Billings hit Ubaid for two sixes in the same over, which could have been the reason behind the bowler's passionate celebration.
