Hassan Ali – PSL’s Top Wicket Taker & Pakistan’s Unpredictable Star
Hassan Ali has always been a name that stirs discussion, drama, and sheer cricketing firepower. From his fiery celebrations to high-voltage performances, he’s now etched his name in PSL history as the leading wicket-taker, surpassing Wahab Riaz.
The Karachi Kings pacer now stands at the top with 116 wickets in 84 PSL innings, going past Wahab’s 113 in 87. It’s not just the numbers—Hassan’s journey through franchises, from Peshawar Zalmi to Islamabad United and now Karachi Kings, is a story of ups, downs, and fierce comebacks.
Hassan Ali’s Consistent PSL Impact
His ability to pick wickets at crucial moments makes him one of the most dangerous pacers in the league. Whether defending a total or hunting for breakthroughs, Hassan Ali has been the go-to man. What adds more heat to the race is Shaheen Shah Afridi, Lahore Qalandars’ skipper, closely trailing with 108 wickets in just 74 innings. The battle for supremacy is intense, but for now, Hassan wears the crown.
From Champions Trophy Glory to Social Media Storms
His fame skyrocketed during the 2017 Champions Trophy, where he was the highest wicket-taker and was named the Player of the Tournament. His spellbinding form helped Pakistan lift the trophy against all odds.
However, Hassan’s career hasn’t been without bumps. Fans still remember his dropped catch in the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final, which many believe shifted the game’s momentum. And then came the viral quote about Babar Azam — “King karle ga”. While meant in support, it turned into social media banter and criticism alike. But that’s Hassan — always in the news, for his heart-on-sleeve personality and unpredictable flair.
Hassan Ali Still Dominates Domestic Circuit
While some write him off too soon, Hassan Ali continues to grind hard in domestic cricket, showing hunger and form. With key performances across formats, he’s proving he still has plenty left in the tank.
Final Word
Love him or criticize him — Hassan Ali is a box-office cricketer. With his name now leading the PSL charts, he’s once again reminded the world that he’s never truly out of the picture.
