Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 winners Karachi Kings players have been awarded a flat by the franchise owner. Karachi defeated Lahore Qalandars in the final by five wickets to win their maiden PSL title.
Pakistan journalist Omar R Quraishi revealed the Karachi Kings owner Salman Iqbal is presenting an apartment each to the players. "Karachi Kings owner Salman Iqbal awards an apartment to each player in the PSL-winning Karachi Kings team - in his real estate development project with DHA called ARY Laguna," Quraishi said in a tweet on Wednesday.
Karachi's star batsman Babar Azam was the top scorer for his team in the final. He scored 63* off 49 deliveries while chasing 135 runs. Earlier, in the first innings Waqas Maqsood, Umaid Asif, and Ashad Iqbal picked up two wickets each.
Skipper Imad Wasim didn't miss out on credited the win to the late Dean Jones, their ex-coach. Jones passed away after a cardiac arrest in Mumbai during IPL 2020.
"Dean Jones, of course, gets credit because what he taught us, very few coaches in the world can," Imad had said at the post-match presentation ceremony. "Wasim Akram, of course, deserves the trophy because he was our bowling coach, head coach, mentor, and team president rolled in one. It's an honor to captain this franchise," he added.
