During Multan's last game against the Quetta Gladiators on Friday, a hilarious incident took place during the Gladiators innings. During the 14th over of the Gladiators' innings, Multan pacer Shahnawaz Dahani castled Naseem Shah on the fourth delivery.

Rohit, 34, was appointed Test captain on Saturday ahead of the two-Test Sri Lanka series next month which will be preceded by three Twenty20 internationals beginning on Thursday. The swashbuckling opener was a unanimous choice for the Test job after he took over the white-ball duties from Kohli, who gave up the T20 captaincy last year and then was sacked as 50-over skipper.
