Quetta Gladiators opener and captain Saud Shakeel turned heads with an outrageous ‘no-look’ shot during a match against the Peshawar Zalmi in the ongoing season of Pakistan Super League (PSL 2025).
The incident happened on the fourth ball of the fourth over being bowled by Alzarri Joseph.
It was a length delivery from Joseph that darted around the fifth stump line. Shakeel was quick to shuffle across and play the ramp shot without even looking at it.
The 29-year-old left-hander made a sweet connection using the pace of the ball and sent it flying over the fine leg fences.
