Another notable mention from recent posts includes Abbas Afridi, featured alongside the caption “Pace. Power. Pookie,” suggesting the young pacer is making an impact with his bowling performances.
Founded in 2015, the Karachi Kings represent Pakistan’s largest city in the Pakistan Super League. The franchise, owned by Salman Iqbal (President and CEO of ARY Digital Network), has been a consistent performer in the league, with their greatest achievement coming when they won the championship in 2020.
The current season marks the tenth edition of the PSL (HBLPSLX), and the Kings are looking to recapture their championship form. Their recent posts indicate they’ve already completed their home leg of matches in Karachi with a win, as they shared “what a game, what a finish!” with fans, adding they “wrap up the Karachi chapter on a winning note.”

The squad’s collective effort—combining experienced international stars like Kane Williamson with domestic talents such as Khushdil Shah and Abbas Afridi—will be crucial as they navigate the competitive landscape of the PSL.
As the tournament progresses, fans of the Karachi Kings will be watching closely to see if this focused training approach and the addition of world-class talent will translate into match-winning performances on the field.
