Hasan Ali is one of the superstars for Pakistan cricket in recent times. With players like Babar Azam, Shabad Khan amongst others he forms the core of his side’s white-ball team. In the second ODI against England, he picked up five for 51 and played a key role in limiting the opposition under 250. However, His team lost the match and with that the series, as their batters failed to chase down the target of 248.
Meanwhile, Hasan Ali grabbed the headlines due to a completely different reason in the second game. He was seen wearing a chain in which his trademark wicket-taking celebration was engraved. He throws both his hands in the air and shouts boom whenever he takes a wicket and the check on his nack was designed the same way.
