Ex-Pakistan cricketer and commentator Ramiz Raja committed a humorous blunder while presenting the post-match ceremony of a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match on April 22. The game between Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans was thrilling, but it was Ramiz's gaffe that stole the limelight. In the announcement of the 'Catch of the Match' award, he mistakenly referred to the tournament as the "IPL" rather than the "PSL."

Ramiz was presenting the 'Catch of the Match' trophy to Multan Sultans' Joshua Little for his sensational catch to leave Fakhar Zaman out. Speaking while doing it, Ramiz said, "What a catch! Possibly the catch of the HBL IPL." The error instantly spread like a virus, and fans enjoyed posting the clip and making memes out of it. Ramiz didn't apologize or correct himself, and that made the moment all the more hilarious. People online made jokes about the confusion between the IPL and the PSL.

Rahul Tewatia scored a four when the Titans needed the same number of runs to win from the last two deliveries to secure a victory for the team, which was chasing a 154-run target. Their opener Shubman Gill was the star for GT with the bat, as he scored a significant 67 off 49 deliveries, crushing seven fours and a six.

Ramiz Raja, a former captain of Pakistan, said that Gill’s performance against the Punjab Kings was very impressive.

He agreed with the general consensus that Shubman Gill could become India’s next best batsman in any format.

“He has so much potential, he has so much time. He looks so naturally beautiful when he plays. When he drives, there’s a curve on the shot. He has a lot of time to play his strokes. It doesn’t matter if he scores on the off side, on side, hook or pull, it’s just so beautiful and neat-and-clean. Many predict that he could be the next best batsman after Virat Kohli. He has touch, class, and elegance like Rohit Sharma. And his temperament is quite strong,”
Raja said on his official YouTube channel.

“From Tests, ODIs, and T20Is as well, he has tormented the bowlers. When you see him, it seems like time has stopped. At such a young age, he already has records. Sky is the limit for him,”
he further said.

With 183 runs from four matches, Gill ranks fifth among the current edition’s highest run scorers.
