Karachi Kings bowler Mohammad Amir has been a topic of discussion for his antics on the field during the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023. Recently, Amir was seen angry with one of his teammates during match 22 of the PSL match.
The incident occurred during Karachi Kings’ match against Quetta Gladiators, when Amir was seen shouting at Tayyab Tahir during the final overs. Sarfaraz Ahmed tried to smack a slower ball from Amir when the Gladiators needed just 11 runs off eight balls. Sarfaraz failed to do so as he lobbed it towards mid-off. Meanwhile, Tahir had a chance to catch the ball but missed it as it seemed he did not put in enough effort for that.
Moreover, Amir was furious at Tahir as he also misfielded the ball which helped the Gladiators to acquire two crucial runs. “Ye kya tareekha hai yaar?! (What kind of fielding is this?),” Amir was heard asking to Tahir.
