PSL: Hyderabad kit emits colour, white ball turns pink

The opening match of the eleventh Pakistan Super League (PSL) was played between the defending champions Lahore Qalandars and Hyderabad Kingsmen.

In this match that was played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, an interesting and unusual case of changing the color of the ball was seen, which is why the ball must be changed.

The Hyderabad Kingsmen team was wearing a maroon kit, which started burning the white kookaburra ball and turned into a light pink, making it difficult for the batsmen to see the ball.

Hyderabad Kingsmen’s official X account congratulated Lahore Qalandars’ win and said, ‘Congratulations to the opposition for winning the first pink ball match’.

In the post-match press conference, Kingsmen captain Marnes Labushin said he informed the referees about the problem in the second period.

He said that although sometimes the color of the shoes or the bat gets on the ball, he has rarely seen such a scenario before.

Labushin said that he hopes that this problem will be solved before the next match.

On the other hand, after the match played at the Gaddafi stadium, the player Haris Rauf said that it is possible that the ball is tied to the seats on the ground, but it is difficult to confirm it.
