Congratulations Quetta Gladiators!

Thank you for bringing Hasnain and Ahsan Ali in the limelight.

Quite happy for Sarfraz too, hopefully this will do wonders to his confidence.
 
Nice for Balochistan to have a happy moment. Hope it inspires development of cricketers from the province.

PCB should look there for talent.
 
Amazing performance, kinda poetic that Watson and Bravo making a song gets them title.

Song for the windies in 2016, for CSK in 2018, and 2019 for Quetta. DJ Bravo is 3 for 3.:bow:
 
Excellent cricket and impressive captaincy as always in PSL from Sarfaraz.

Hopefully he lifts the WC as well in few months time.
 
They have been excellent over all four seasons of the PSL and so it is very deserving that they have finally added their name to the trophy.
 
Congrats to QG but if you really want people of Quetta to enjoy this win they should have given chance to players from Balochistan a chance to play ( Ashgar and Bismillah) I am hoping next season we can see these guys and some more players from the region get a chance to represent Quetta.

Also on a side not happy too see Sarfraz win a PSL title along with ct 2017 .
Hopefully he can carry this confidence for World Cup

Sarfraz Ahmed has been tremendous AS captain again.

I have never liked his screaming and yelling, but Azhar Ali made a very good point today and that was important as well.

He said: Sarfraz might look like an aggressive(read: angry) captain but before matches he given tremendous amount of support and confidience to his players, and after the match as well.
 
Congratulations to Gladiators but Sarfraz really needs to start contributing as a player.
 
Well played. They carefully selected the best crop from the draft.

Their Shane Watson pick and Rilee pick paid off.

The Umar Akmal gamble worked for them.

The biggest advantage they got was from the emerging pick they had. Mohammad hasnain.

Whats interesting about this team was that they picked all those players(who also performed) that were made redundant by other teams.

Sohail Tanvir was from Karachi, Irfan Jr was from Lahore, Umar Akmal was from Lahore, Watson was a Islamabad player(moved to quetta in 2018), Mohammad Hasnain was Islamabad's player. They even had peshawars Asghar who didnt even play

A very well selected squad, and obviously due to the win in final they deserved the PSL
 
Congrats, will they go to Quetta for a parade or some sort of event now? What is the situation there never see any media events from Quetta. Hopefully with PSL it gets some spot light.

We have been telling this for a long time.

Sarfraz has been captaining in Pakistani scene for 13 years now and never had a rift with any of his fellow players despite him being 'aggressive' and sometimes over-aggressive on field. And the reason is simple; its his nature but off the field he is really friendly, nice and encouraging to his teammates.
 
Some good selections in Watson, Fawad Ahmed and Roussow as overseas players. Akmal and Shehzad found some form which was handy.

Their bowling attack was always going to be very strong, even without Narine.

Hasnain who was a replacement pick was a bonus for them.

Think this PSL has silenced (read: embarrassed) a lot of his critics. Hoping he carries this confidence into the national team.
 
Congratulations. 3rd time lucky. Twice they have lost finals.

I think Sarfaraz has silenced his critics. I think he was under a lot of pressure a couple of months ago as 1) He was struggling himself 2) Pakistan were struggling 3) Mohammad Rizwan - alternative keeper was batting like a GOAT in domestic/A team cricket but Rizwan showing he's still a very limited batsman as well as Sarfaraz doing okay this tournament and leading QG to the trophy has led to a huge anti-climax and I don't think many people are #Sarfarazout anymore, especially as we have all seen that the 'second coming of Rizwan' was a false dawn, he's still rubbish

Yep, knew they would win the competition and they have delivered.

They also did it without the services of Narine, just goes to show how strong they were and Hasnain really was the surprise package.
