Pakistani's who could rule over IPL

The 2018 season was IPL’s 11th season in all but 10th straight season as well where political reasons have excelled over cricket and Pakistanis weren’t allowed to take part in this prestigious brand of cricket. IPL first started in 2008 with more than eight Pakistanis blessed the league with their appearances and abilities.

A left-arm medium pace bowler from Rawalpindi Sohail Tanvir with his awkward wrong-footed bowling action caught many of the best batsmen on their wrong-foot and ended up taking 22 wickets in the inaugural season – easily earning the Purple cap in IPL Season 1. His bowling figures 6/14 against the batting giants Chennai Super Kings are still the best for any bowler in any season of IPL.

Who could forget the Misbah-ul-Haq assault to Rajat Bhatia in the final over of Bangalore’s innings where he hit him out of the park on four occasions or that Shoaib Akhtar’s furious spell against the Daredevils. Surely Pakistanis, with limited chances given to them in the IPL, have done everything to be remembered for a long time.

Forget that politics has won over cricket for the 10th time in a row and Pakistanis are still not allowed to a part of the cricket’s annual festivities, here is a list of Pakistanis who could rule over the IPL:

1 – Wahab Riaz

Rewind your memory to Pakistan’s world cup quarter-final against Australia, a young fearless bowler charging it in on Shane Watson. Ball after ball and over after over, this bowler kept bowling those odd bouncers and caught Watson many times attempting a fake defense or pull shot. Rewind further, Pakistan is in all sorts of trouble against Zimbabwe and this young bowler smashed 47 with a 100+ SR to take Pakistan to a respectable total and then takes four wickets to give his team their first victory of the world cup.

Wahab Riaz has every talent to be a successful bowling all-rounder and be more successful at the IPL.
