NEW DELHI : Kolkata Knight Riders have signed England opener Jason Roy for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), the organisers said on Wednesday, to bolster their batting lineup weakened by the absence of Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan.
Left-arm pacer Wahab Riaz, who plays for Peshawar Zalmi in Pakistan Super League, kissed New Zealand batter Martin Guptill after dismissing him during his side's PSL match against Quetta Gladiators on Wednesday. The Gladiators were chasing a target of 241 runs against the Zalmi in the 20-over-a-side game. They got off to really good start, but Wahab got better of Guptill to bring his side back in the game. On the fifth ball of the third over, Riaz pitched a fast short ball. Guptill failed to time his pull properly and edged the ball in the air. Riaz took the catch comfortably on the follow through and then kissed Guptill on the latter's helmet grill.
Quetta Gladiators chased down a target of 241 runs against Peshawar Zalmi in a run-fest in the Pakistan Super League on Wednesday. It was Babar Azam's 115 off 65 that helped Zalmi post a daunting total of 240 for 2 in 20 overs. In the first half, it seemed that the game was all but over for Gladiators, but then Jason Roy happened. The right-handed England batter tore apart the opponent's bowling attack with his masterclass 145 not out off only 63 balls. His innings was laced with 20 fours and 5 sixes as Gladiators successfully completed the third-highest chase ever in T20 cricket history with 10 balls to spare.

It isn't often that you see players scoring hundreds being talked about in negative light. But, when Babar Azam scored a century for Peshawar Zalmi, it was former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull who launched a scathing attack at the superstar batter for putting his 'personal ambitions' ahead of the team's. During live commentary, Doull took a sharp swipe at Babar, and the video of the incident went viral on social media in little time.
