PSL social media buzz: Ubaid slaps Usman by mistake, Ramiz Raja mixes up IPL and PSL, Warner’s fist bump

Defending champions Islamabad United have made a strong start to the 2025 season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), leading the points table with four out of four wins and eight points. Karachi Kings (six points) are currently second, while Lahore Qalandars (4) and Peshawar Zalmi (2) are third and fourth, respectively. PSL 2024 finalist Multan Sultans are at the bottom of the points table with just one win from four matches.

While matches are coming in thick and fast in PSL 2025, social media is littered with viral videos from the league. One of them is of pacer Ubaid Shah slapping wicket-keeper Usman Khan by mistake during the Tuesday match between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars. After dismissing Sam Billings during Lahore’s 226-run chase, an excited Ubaid missed Usman’s high-five only to slap him by mistake while celebrating.



As Usman was not wearing a helmet in an injury scare, however, he was given an all clear after a medical checkup. Watch video here. Update: Everyone is ok 🤗 Khel Khel main 😄 #HBLPSLX l #ApnaXHai l #MSvLQ pic.

Maybe Raza prefers IPL over PSL and the video of the goof-up is going viral. Watch video here. HBL PSL ❌ HBL IPL ✅ Best Catch of the "HBL IPL" ~ Ramiz Raja does it again 😅 pic.
