The Pakistan Super League 2020 (PSL 2020) season came to a conclusion on Tuesday, November 17 with Karachi Kings emerging victorious in a one-sided final against Lahore Qalandars. The recently-concluded event marked a historic occasion for Pakistan cricket, as it became the first-ever PSL season to be entirely conducted in its home country.

Pakistan fans acknowledge Harsha Bhogle’s PSL 2020 praise with positivity

On Wednesday, November 18, i.e. one day after the Pakistan Super League final, Harsha Bhogle took to Twitter and congratulated the tournament’s successful completion. According to him, the T20 event gave fans “something to cheer about”, considering the lack of international cricket thus far this year due to pandemic and travel restrictions.

Harsha Bhogle also congratulated Karachi Kings star batsman Babar Azam for his prolific outing this season. Apart from lifting the PSL 2020 trophy for Karachi Kings, the cricketer also won the ‘Player of the Final’ and ‘Player of the Tournament’ awards. Heaping words of admiration for the Pakistan captain, Harsha Bhogle wrote Babar Azam is “going to have more feathers than his cap can accommodate”.
