Since its inception in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has gone on to become the biggest T20 franchise competition in the world. Cricket stars from other countries have graced the IPL, except for Pakistan, who only participated in the tournament's first season.

On the 91st over of Gloucestershire's second innings, Shaw bunted Ali through the slips which prompted a bouncer and an exchange of stares and then another bouncer. On the fifth delivery, the Pakistan cricketer cruised past Shaw's defence with ease and uprooted the off stump.
