Irfan Khan, Usman Khan and other talents emerging from PSL 2024

Islamabad United emerged as champions of the Pakistan Super League on Monday, clinching the title off the final ball of the season against Multan Sultans.

All-rounder Imad Wasim had a match for the ages as he picked up five wickets to restrict Multan to 159-9 before scoring an unbeaten 19 that helped Islamabad cross the finishing line.

It was the third PSL title for Islamabad, their captain Shadab Khan leading the way with 305 runs and 14 wickets.

There were other players as well who made their mark this season. Here we take a look at five young emerging cricketers from PSL 2024.

Karachi Kings had a tough season as they failed to make it to the playoffs. But middle order batsman Irfan, 21, raised hopes of a brighter future as he was named the best emerging talent of the season. A total of 171 runs at an average of 42.75 and a strike rate of 140, coupled with eight catches in nine matches along with excellent ground fielding, made it a memorable season for the youngster who showed potential to take on the finisher’s role.
