Sohaib Maqsood reveals his best innings of HBL PSL 6

Multan Sultans’ top-order batsman Sohaib Maqsood has revealed his best innings of the recently concluded HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season six.

Maqsood, who was declared player of the tournament and best batsman, named his unbeaten 65-run knock, off 35 balls, against Peshawar Zalmi in the final as the innings he rates very highly after leading his team to their maiden title.

“Among the innings I played [in HBL PSL 6], I rate this innings [in the final] very highly. Firstly, it was against a very quality bowling attack and secondly because I did not come out to bat in the powerplay. The runs I scored previously came through my attacking batting in the powerplay but this time I batted with responsibility,” said Maqsood in the PCB Podcast.

“Credit goes to Rilee Rossouw as well for the way he batted as it made my job easier,” he added.

He accumulated 428 runs, including five fifties, at an average of 47.55 and strike-rate of 156.77 during the event.

“Undoubtedly, this is the best I have ever played in PSL in terms of consistency but the credit goes to management as well for making me bat in the top-order where I can go out there, express myself and take responsibility. They made me feel that I’m a match-winner and I’m very happy that I could contribute to the championship,” he concluded.
