Ramiz Raja at PSL ceremony after the match© X (Twitter)
Pakistan Super League (PSL) is running parallel to the Indian Premier League (IPL), there were a lot of cricket material for fans to catch-up. Even the former cricketer and Pandit have been quite busy keeping an eye on the proceedings in the leagues. Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja is a pundit who follows both leagues with a keen interest. A side-effect of such cricket content was seen when Ramiz accidentally gave a peller in PSL, which was an award for the ‘Catch of the IPL’.
The former Pakistan captain on Tuesday invited Joshua Little to collect his ‘Catch of the Match’ award after the game between Multan Sultans and Lahore Kalandars. This happens when Ramiz called it a ‘catch of IPL’ instead of PSL.
