Pakistan Super League 2020 is in its full swing with all the teams giving a tough fight to each other. On Thursday in a game between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, Naseem Shah, who marked his return into the Super League hogged the spotlight with his brilliant quick bowling.

Naseem Shah recently played in the Test series against Bangladesh in which he managed to take a hat-trick in the 1st Test that was played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. He also became the youngest bowler to achieve that feat in the longer format. However, after taking a hat-trick against the Tigers he suffered a strong pain in his ribcage due to which he left the field in between the game.

The pain was serious due to which he underwent rehabilitation and it was the main reason that he couldn’t take part in the first two games of Quetta Gladiators. Now, he is fit and back in the dugout of his team.
