Top Pakistani cricketers, including Pakistan international captain Babar Azam and legendary former cricketer Shahid Afridi, were evacuated after a terrorist attack just a few miles away from the stadium. All these star players were immediately taken from the dugout or stand to the dressing room for security. These players were playing an exhibition match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which was stopped for some time after the blast. The blast took place in the Police Lines area in which five people were also reported injured.

A senior police officer said that the rescue operation has been completed and all the injured have been shifted to the hospital. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement on Sunday, saying security officials were targeted in the blast. After the blast, once again there is an atmosphere of fear in Pakistan. The police official said that, as soon as the blast occurred, the match was stopped as a precautionary measure and the players were taken to the dressing room for a while. The match was later restored. The ground was packed for this match.

Iftikhar Ahmed hit 6 sixes

By the way, PSL will start from 13 February. But on Sunday an exhibition match was played. In this, Quetta Gladiators faced Peshawar Zalmi. Iftikhar Aham played an unbeaten inning of 94 runs off 50 balls for Quetta. The special thing is that in the last over of the innings, he hit 6 consecutive sixes over Peshawar's most successful and Wahab Riaz, who took 3 wickets for 11 runs in 3 overs. Thanks to this, Quetta scored 184 runs for 5 wickets in this match while playing first. These six sixes of Iftikhar reminded me of Indian Sixer King Yuvraj Singh.
