In the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 final, Islamabad United’s all-rounder Imad Wasim delivered a match-winning performance on Sunday, claiming a 5-wicket haul to limit Multan Sultans to 159/9. Wasim crucially dismissed players like Yasir Khan and David Willey, showcasing one of his standout performances in the T20 league.
However, shortly after his exceptional spell on the field, Wasim became embroiled in a major controversy when he was caught smoking in the team’s dressing room during the match. The paparazzi captured Imad in a close-up shot, revealing him smoking a cigarette in the Multan Sultans dressing room. The video quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing widespread criticism towards the player.
