Ramiz Raja says 'Catch of IPL' in PSL presentation ceremony, watch viral video

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is running parallel to the Indian Premier League (IPL) and there is a lot of cricket to be followed for fans and experts alike. Former Pakistani cricketer Ramiz Raja was at the presentation ceremony after a PSL match, accidentally mixed up the two leagues and presented an award for 'catch of the IPL'.


The former Pakistan Cricket Board chief invited Joshua Little to collect his 'Catch of the Match' award after the game between Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars on Tuesday. Raja called the award 'Catch of the IPL' instead of PSL.


The stakeholders at the presentation ceremony were stunned to hear what Raja said. A section of Pakistan fans have even sought an apology from Ramiz for his faux pas.

In the match, Multan Sultans won the contest after defending the total of 228 runs against Lahore Qalandars. Multan's Yasir Khan was the Player of the Match for his knock of 87 runs off just 44 balls. Iftikhar Ahmed, with a quick-fire 40 off 18 balls was the second-highest scorer for the Sultans.

For Lahore, Sikandar Raza scored 50 off 27 balls but in vain. The team could only reach 195/9 in 20 overs, losing by 33 runs.

"Have been working hard for this day, our team needed this kind of innings. Happy to contribute. There's a lot of hard work and practice behind this. That's why I didn't face any issue. This is how I play my shots, I know my power, I can hit it straight and over midwicket. Wanted to back my strengths. Had been waiting for my opportunity," Yasir said after the match.
