If I made a big mistake by saying 'King kar lay ga,' then I apologise: Hasan Ali

Following Karachi Kings' loss to Lahore Qalandars in their second PSL 10 match, vice-captain Hasan Ali addressed the media and apologised for his earlier “King kar lay ga” remark, saying, “If that was a big mistake, I apologise.”

Reflecting on the team’s inconsistent performance, he said, “We’ll review things. In one match, we dominated, and in the next, our batting flopped. We’ll learn from this.”

The fast bowler stressed that selection depends on performance. "If we perform, we will play. We're still young, and I've been one of the best bowlers in T20 matches. I always train with the mindset of making a comeback. The rest depends on the national team selection committee and what they think," he said.

Hasan also addressed the balance between local and foreign players in the squad, saying, “We’re not totally dependent on foreign players. Khushdil played well in the last match, but we lacked partnerships.”

Addressing public criticism, Hasan said he’s at a point where negativity doesn’t bother him. He stood by Babar Azam, calling him “the best.”

"I'm at an age and stage in my career where nothing really hurts me anymore. We've made Babar Azam our king, and we're the ones standing behind him. If my 'King kar lay ga' statement was a big mistake, I sincerely apologise. But my stance remains the same: Babar was the best, is the best, and will come out of this tough phase," he said.

Hasan added that the team is still testing combinations and may bring in spinner Mohammad Nabi in future matches.

"The tournament has just started. We're analysing how we can build the best team. If we feel the need for a spinner in the middle order, we will definitely consider Mohammad Nabi," he concluded.

In the match, Lahore Qalandars beat Karachi Kings by 65 runs, posting 201 for 6 and bowling out Karachi for 136 in 19.1 overs.
