The aggressive batsman from Pakistan Fakhar Zaman has been a key component of the team ever since he scored a brilliant ton against India in the final of the Champions Trophy in 2017. The left-handed opener has recently been in the headlines for non-cricketing reasons. His off the field antics were visible in a video which was posted by a Facebook handle.

The video includes Fakhar Zaman, Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali. The trio is featuring in a commercial for the PSL promo. Although the clip was short, the roles of the players in the promo were easy to figure out. Wahab Riaz was a teacher, Hasan Ali was a student and Fakhar Zaman was a driver. In the video, Wahab introduces Fakhar and Hasan, telling the fans that they are at the shoot for the PSL 3. He goes on to introduce the crew, while Fakhar and Hasan are seen enjoying some quality time off the pitch.

The trio will be keen on making an impact for their respective teams in the 3rd edition of Pakistan’s premier T20 league. Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali both represent Peshawar Zalmi which is captained by Darren Sammy. While Wahab Riaz has been a household name for quite some time now, Hasan Ali rose to fame during last year’s Champions Trophy.

Fakhar Zaman will be looking to have a fruitful season with the bat. The southpaw plays for Lahore Qalandars. “Fauji”, as he is often referred to, also plays for Durban Qalandars in the South African league, which is owned by the same franchise.

Fakhar will always be remembered for his 114 against India in the final of the Champions Trophy. The opener was caught behind on 3, but it was a no ball. He went on to score his maiden ODI century as Pakistan posted a total of 338. He won the man of the match award as India’s batting collapsed miserably. He became the first Pakistan batsman to score a century in the final of an ICC event final.
