Be it Wasim, Boult, or Starch. That’s bowling of extreme quality. Goodness me, Roy is on floor. These are quality international batters, they know what’s coming yet can’t play it! #PSL2023 #ShaheenShahAfridi

He’s one of the best wicket takers in the game in the first over. That ball requires serious skill to execute every time. Probably the best yorker in the game right now https://t.co/43E2IwNPKo
