“Wherever I go, the atmosphere becomes better,” were the words reiterated by Karachi Kings’ latest addition, Hasan Ali, when asked about his new team.
Karachi Kings have chopped and changed a lot of players and backroom staff as they try to build a new legacy. Having won PSL 5, they haven’t performed consistently, leading to the owners changing their strategy.
“Babar (Azam) is a brand and a superstar,” claimed Hasan when asked about the supporters chanting ‘Babar Babar’ during the Peshawar Zalmi – Karachi Kings match at the Gaddafi Stadium.
Hasan fondly remembers his group of friends within the national team, also known as, ‘Roti Gang’: “I miss Roti Group, but professionalism comes first.”
The right-arm fast bowler said these words in the context of not getting retained by Islamabad United, whose captain is his close friend Shadab Khan.
Hasan seemed to be in a jolly mood as he was answering the questions while smiling.
This is Hasan’s third PSL franchise, as he debuted during PSL 1 with Peshawar Zalmi.
Having spent multiple seasons at PZ, he transferred to Islamabad United in 2021.
His third, and current, PSL franchise remains Karachi Kings.
"Jahan pe Hassan Ali ho, maahol acha ho hi jata hai" 😅
