Mohammad Hafeez hits back at PCB and critics, slams 33-ball 73 in PSL 2021 game: WATCH

Pakistan's veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez has established himself as a prominent cricketing star for his country. The star player's name was surprisingly omitted from Pakistan's T20 squad for the three-match home series against South Africa. This development shocked a number of fans as he was the leading run-scorer for the side in the shortest format in 2020. The 40-year-old proved a strong point with a scintillating knock against Quetta Gladiators on Monday.

PSL 2021 live: Mohammad Hafeez stars with the bat for Lahore Qalandars 

The Lahore Qalandars have had a fantastic start to their Pakistan Super League campaign this season. After a comprehensive victory in their opening game, they were up against a spirited Quetta Gladiators team. Chris Gayle scored an impressive half-century, whereas captain Sarfaraz Ahmed also chipped in with 40 runs to take Quetta Gladiators' total to 178. It was not going to be an easy task for the Lahore Qalandars batters to chase down the total against a formidable bowling attack.

However, Mohammad Hafeez and Fakhar Zaman made a mockery of the opposition's bowling line-up and stitched together a fabulous partnership to guide their side to a comfortable victory. Hafeez remained unbeaten on 73 from just 33 deliveries. The player smashed 6 sixes and 5 fours in his innings, and took the Quetta bowlers to the cleaners with his power-hitting.
