Wicketkeeper runs away from Ubaid Shah’s celebrations following freak incident in PSL 2025 [Watch]
Multan Sultans wicketkeeper Usman Khan ran away from pacer Ubaid Shah after the fall of a wicket during their PSL 2025 match against Islamabad United. The contest was held in Multan on Wednesday, April 23.
Ubaid Shah dismissed Islamabad opener Sahibzada Farhan on the fourth ball of the third over of the second innings. Farhan edged the delivery to wicketkeeper Usman Khan, who completed the catch and appealed right away before the umpire adjudged the batter out.
As Ubaid ran towards Usman to celebrate the dismissal, the wicketkeeper started running from him, signalling him to stay away. It was all in good spirits. The reason why Usman asked Ubaid to stay away came from the incident that occurred in their previous game.
During the PSL 2025 game between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars on Tuesday, April 22, Ubaid had mistakenly hit Usman on the head while celebrating after picking up a wicket. Usman was down on the ground but was alright.
Hence, he signalled Ubaid to stay away this time, as the bowler ran towards the wicketkeeper to celebrate the wicket.
