Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, aur Haris Rauf jaise naam bade toh hain, lekin T20 ka yeh tamasha itna predictable thodi hai! Brisbane Heat ne Afridi ko pehli pick ke saath apnaya, shayad soch ke ki unka pace attack ab kisi ko bhi dhool chata dega. Lekin, yaad rakhiye, 2019 ka World Cup jahan Pakistan ke pace attack ne hype ke bawajood England ke batsmen ko nahi rok paya tha.
Ab thodi si chamak ki baat. Afridi, jinka T20 record shandaar hai—222 matches mein 310 wickets, strike rate 15.8, aur economy 7.95—Brisbane Heat ke liye ek dumdaar shuruaat de sakte hain. Unke saath Spencer Johnson, Michael Neser, aur Xavier Bartlett ka pace attack itna zabardast hai ki opposing batsmen ke liye toh yeh koi nightmare se kam nahi. Rizwan, jo Melbourne Renegades ke liye khelenge, apne consistent batting aur wicketkeeping se team ko majbooti denge. Unka PSL record dekhein: 2024 mein Multan Sultans ke liye 407 runs, 44.11 average ke saath. Haris Rauf, Melbourne Stars ke purane dost, apni tezi se batsmen ko hila denge, jaise unhone 2022 T20 World Cup mein India ke top order ko pareshan kiya tha.
Khiladiyon ke Stats
| Khiladi | Team | T20 Wickets/Runs | Strike Rate | Economy/Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaheen Afridi | Brisbane Heat | 310 wickets | 15.8 | 7.95 |
| Mohammad Rizwan | Melbourne Renegades | 2087 runs | 126.1 | 44.11 (PSL 2024) |
| Haris Rauf | Melbourne Stars | 214 wickets | 16.2 | 8.12 |
Lekin yeh sab itna simple nahi. Melbourne Renegades ne Rizwan ko chuna, jabki unke paas pehle se Tim Seifert jaise wicketkeeper hai. Yeh kya, double dhamaka ya confusion ka cocktail? Renegades ka yeh faisla shayad unhe creative batting order dene ka mauka de, lekin T20 mein consistency chahiye, jo 2023-24 season mein Renegades ko bilkul nahi mili thi—woh toh table ke neeche hi reh gaye! Brisbane Heat ke liye bhi, itne saare pacers ke saath new ball kaun lega? Nathan McSweeney ne toh haathon mein sar pakad liya: “Dekhte hain, kaun batting karta hai pehle.”
Aur thodi si khatkhat ke saath khatam karte hain. Yeh sab draft picks aur hype toh theek hai, lekin yaad rahe, BBL mein overseas stars ka jalwa tabhi dikhta hai jab local talent saath deta hai. Warna yeh sab kuch 2018 ke Melbourne Stars jaisa ban jata hai, jahan Glenn Maxwell ke bawajood team knockout tak nahi pohanchi. Kya Afridi, Rizwan, aur Rauf apni teams ko trophy dilayenge, ya yeh ek aur overhyped season ka trailer ban ke reh jayega?
