Imad Wasim, the all-rounder for Islamabad United, took the internet by storm following their victory in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 final against Multan Sultans. While his exceptional performance on the field, particularly his remarkable five-wicket haul during the crucial match, earned him praise from fans worldwide, a post-match photo of him smoking in the dressing room sparked a debate on social media platforms.
The image of Imad smoking a cigarette drew mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment over his choice while others defended him, citing the pressures of professional sports. Despite the controversy, Imad’s pivotal role in Islamabad’s victory cannot be overlooked. His career-best T20 figures of five for 23 significantly contributed to restricting Multan to a manageable total, ultimately securing Islamabad’s third PSL title.
