Hasan Ali Aiming To Make Pakistan Comeback

For a bowler who once fought back from injuries and form slumps, this moment means everything. Hasan’s attacking attitude, his crowd-favourite celebrations and his never-say-die spirit have made him a PSL staple for nearly a decade.

And now, with the record in his bag, he is not just a crowd-pleaser; he is a record-holder. The veteran pacer has been sidelined from Pakistan team for a long time now. However, with performances like this, he could very well be in contention to make a comeback into the national side.
