Usman, wearing a cap and not a helmet, was momentarily dazed and received immediate medical attention from the Multan Camp. A quick medical check confirmed that he could continue, and that put everyone at ease.
The incident caught on camera spread like wildfire across social media and quickly became one of the most discussed topics on the internet.
Ubaid left an immediate impact on the match, taking three wickets for 37 runs and played a key role in the team’s 33-run victory in Multan.
Earlier, Multan had posted 229, which turned out to be too tough for Lahore Qalanders, and the team ended up losing the contest. The team lost wickets at regular intervals and always looked out of the hunt. Fakhar Zaman played a knock of 32 runs from 14 deliveries, but his dismissal resulted in the defeat for the team.
