Pakistan Junior League (PJL) got underway on Thursday, October 6, with the first match played between Gujranwala Giants and Mardan Warriors at the Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore. Mardan Warriors won the match by eight wickets, but the moment of the match was Aimal Khan nail-bitting swinging yorker.
His dismissal of Gujranwala Giants skipper Uzair Mumtaz was his standout moment. After batting on 54 off 47, Mumtaz got his bat down in time to fend off the yorker that landed at the off-stump. However, the ball swung away past his defense, uprooting his off-stump, as the on-air commentators gushed about the skills of Aimal.
The video has been shared multiple times on social media and has been praise by many former cricketers. Watch the beautiful late out-swinging yorker by Aimal Khan:-
