Khawaja Nafay, the match-winning sensation for Quetta Gladiators, whose explosive batting propelled his team to a convincing five-wicket triumph over the Lahore Qalandars in the recent Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 match, has named Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam as his cricketers.
Khawaja Nafay smashed a rapid 31-ball 60 to guide Quetta to a memorable victory, chasing down 188 runs with five balls remaining. With a massive social media following of over 56,000 on Facebook and 25,000-plus likes, this talented youngster from Karachi rose to prominence by sharing engaging videos on the platform.
Khawaja Nafay found himself at the crease under pressure as Quetta Gladiators lost two quick wickets with 72 runs on the board. Although all eyes were on Quetta captain Rilee Rossouw to take charge, the South African’s departure after 13-ball 18 shifted the focus to Nafay’s crucial role in the chase.
