PSL8 Saim Ayub 'No Look Shot' viral Babar has faith in young batsmen

If a player from the losing team manages to win the hearts of the people, it is considered a great success.

Something similar happened in the fifth match of PSL 2023 in Multan in which Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 56 runs. However, in the second innings, Saim Ayub of the visiting team impressed everyone with his half-century.

Thus, he played a turn of 53 runs off 37 balls, but the three sixes and three fours hit in this innings made the fans quite happy, especially his 'no-look shot'.

Batting first, hosts Multan scored 210 runs for the loss of three wickets. Captain Muhammad Rizwan added 66 runs in this, but Peshawar's bowlers were charged with 75 runs off 36 balls by Riley Russo.


Only Salman Irshad was able to take two wickets with 38 runs while leading pacer Wahab Riaz and apart from him Khurram Shahzad and James Neesham all scored 40 or more runs in their spells.

In reply, Peshawar captain Babar Azam was left lbw on Ehsanullah's full ball after scoring just nine runs. However, wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Haris and Saim Ayub put Peshawar's batting in a good position.

A partnership of 47 off 27 balls between the young batsmen was broken when Harris was run out on 40 on a direct throw from Abbas Afridi.

Saim Ayub played some charming shots but none of the Peshawar batsmen could support him and finally, after completing his half-century, he was bowled by leg-spinner Usama Mir.

Multan's Ehsanullah and Osama Mir have taken three wickets each.


💗Saim Ayub's 'No Look Shot' stole the show💗


After the fall of Babar's wicket, Peshawar's young batsmen Mohammad Haris and Saim Ayub had brought the match back under their control at one point.

Meanwhile, Saim Ayub impressed the fans with his power-hitting.

He hit fast bowler Ehsanullah for a cover drive on the first ball as he came to the crease, then hit a six over a fine leg.

Then in the next over, playing the first ball of Carlos Braithwaite, he stepped up and scored six runs at mid-wicket.


On the first ball of Abbas Afridi's seventh over, he played his signature 'no look shot' which got him six runs. In this, he sent the short ball outside the fine leg boundary and after playing the shot he did not even feel the need to look at the ball.


But a run out by Harris and then a catch by Kohler Cadmore stopped their runs. His wicket was taken by Osama Mir in the 15th over.


Saim Ayub, who has been compared to legendary Pakistani opener Saeed Anwar, has made quite a few new fans today with his shots.

According to presenter Zainab Abbas, there is no doubt that Saeem is a talented young batsman, while Bazid Khan said, "Saim Ayub played a great inning and proved that he is an exciting player."


Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf says Saim Ayub is 'an unparalleled talent'.


On the other hand, some users think that captain Babar Azam made a good decision by including Saim Ayub in the team and playing him as number three. Nawaz says that Babar has faith in Saim Ayub. No other captain could have taken such a bold decision. There will be no one like Babar Azam for the next 100 years.


According to Arfa Feroze, under Babar's captaincy, Haris and Saim Ayub would have gone much higher by the end of PSL eight. These are the future stars of Pakistan.


While Akhtar Jamal said that Saim Ayub had played similar shots during the National T20 Cup as well.

20-year-old Saim Ayub from Karachi used to play cricket in school as well as Bob Vollmer Cricket Club and after seeing him playing in the under-16 match at Asghar Ali Shah Cricket Stadium, coach Mohammad Masroor invited him to the Karachi under-16 team. 16 were selected for the team.


Saim Ayub scored a 50 in the final of the national U-16. Naseem Shah was one of the fast bowlers in front of him.


Saim Ayub's best performance was during the tour of Australia with the Pakistan U-16 team in 2017 when the Pakistan team was set a target of 265 runs to win in the last match and Mohammad Saim Ayub scored a brilliant inning of 160 runs to help Pakistan win. The team won.


Seeing Saim Ayub's talent, Pakistan Cricket Club included him in their team and at the same time he was given a place in the squad of Quetta Gladiators.


Saim Ayub was also a part of the Pakistan U-19 cricket team for 2 years, however, he remained unfortunate regardless of his brilliant performance, he was unable to be chosen in the Pakistan team for the U-19 World Cup held in South Africa.


He made his PSL debut at the age of just 18 while playing for Quetta. Saim scored the second-highest run in the National T20 Cup last year with 416 runs and during that time his strike rate was 155.12. In the Pakistan Cup, he scored 461 runs at a strike rate of 107.2. After that, he got an opportunity to play in Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) this year.
