The PSL 11 opening match at Gaddafi Stadium between Lahore Qalandars and Hyderabad Kingsmen became a social media topic of discussion due to a post from Naseem Shah.
The controversy began when a post appeared on Naseem Shah’s official X account. The post, a quote retweet of a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) message, questioned why Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz was being treated “like the queen at Lords.” The message went viral quickly, drawing criticism from fans and widespread debate online.
Maryam Nawaz attended the match as the guest of honour. She was welcomed by Mohsin Naqvi and introduced to franchise owners and players before the game. Initially, the opening night proceeded smoothly, but the viral post overshadowed the match in social media discussions.
Naseem Shah responded promptly to clarify the situation. He confirmed that his account had been hacked and that the post did not reflect his personal views. “This account of Naseem was recently hacked but now recovered successfully,” he stated. The pacer’s clarification helped address public concerns and bring attention back to the match.
The Lahore Qalandars bowler emphasized the importance of separating his personal opinions from posts made by unauthorized users. The controversial post has since been deleted, and the account is now secured.
This incident highlights the influence of social media during high-profile events like PSL 11. Despite the initial stir, Naseem Shah’s swift response reassured fans and maintained his professional image.
