Of the many pleasant surprises this season, one that’s hardest to miss is the shift in the fortunes of Karachi Kings.
Sitting at the top of the table, the Kings are unbeaten in the tournament so far, much to the joy of their massive fan base.
Their success is being credited mostly to the new man in charge Imad Wasim, under whom the team seems to have gelled together brilliantly.
Shahid Afridi’s impact can’t be ignored either; whether or not he scores with the bat is secondary to the fact that his bowling spells and on-field athleticism have helped the Kings put up a spectacular show.
Other names to shine for Karachi are Colin Ingram and Ravi Bopara, both of who have added stability to the middle order.
It’s also important to underscore the role of Mickey Arthur who, having spent a while as Pakistan’s head coach now, has accumulated valuable insight into the local talent pool.
