Jahandad Khan, a 22-year-old Pakistani all-rounder, is known for his aggressive batting and smart left-arm bowling. He now plays for Quetta Gladiators. In a recent match on April 10, Jahandad put up a brilliant performance. He scored a quick 21 runs off just 6 balls and took 2 wickets for just 8 runs.
He was fined 10% of his match fee for a Level 1 breach of the PSL Code of Conduct. The incident took place during the second innings when he dismissed a batsman and made a gesture that was considered against the rules. According to the authorities, he violated Article 2.5 of the PSL code of conduct, which states that players must avoid actions that may provoke or disrespect opponents.
After taking a wicket, Jahandad put his finger to his lips and signaled the batsman to back off. The situation did not escalate, as the two players later moved on without any confrontation.
Jahandad also spoke after the match and explained his side. “No, it’s nothing like that. He is a very good friend of mine. People only saw the gesture, not the situation of the game. It was just in the heat of the moment,” he said.
Despite the fine, Jahandad Khan’s PSL performance and all-round talent continue to make him one of the rising names in Pakistani cricket.
