Azhar Mehmood has done it, folks. In his first appearance for MCL, he has just taken out the big fish, Adam Gilchrist. Sagittarius Strikers are one down now. It was a good length ball and Gilchrist was faked with the line of it. <br /> <br />Azhar bowled it as an inswing and as the ball hit the deck it curved into the pads of Gilchrist, the batsman went for a big aerial shot on the leg side. Now here Gilchrist looked rusty, his bat and body position was not that much accurate as it used to be in the past? <br /> <br />The ball hit the top end of the bat and went in the air for a very very long time. Foster the Virgo super kings wicketkeeper called for it and went to the ball and then he just kept on waiting for it until it landed into his safe pair of hands. <br /> <br />Azhar was delighted as he should be. Azhar had done his job with the new ball. Gilchrist would have dented his team a lot harder than expected once he had settled himself in but not anymore. Azhar proved that there is a lot of cricket left in him. <br /> <br />This ball showed that he can still swing the ball which will become handy for the Kings in the upcoming games. Azhar will play an important part in this league just like Razzaq, Azhar can hit the ball hard and his bowling is also really good so there is a lot of excitement when he is around. <br /> <br /> <br />Azhar Mehmood was once the kind of all-rounders and his abilities were great with the bat and ball. Azhar was one of the most sensational new and old ball bowlers. Not only had this Azhar had the temperament to be a complete test match batsman. <br /> <br />Azhar did put up a great show with the bat and ball in his international career but then after 2007 world cup his career into the dark. Pakistan lost to Ireland and went out of the mega tournament. This put pressure on the board and Azhar became their escape goat. <br /> <br />After that Azhar started playing T20 leagues and now is a part of IPL, BPL and other major franchises. Today he is with Virgo Super Kings playing in the first edition of the MCL. Azhar has just taken out the Australian Adam Gilchrist who we all know what kind of batsman he was and still is. <br /> <br /> <br />Azhar tricked Gilchrist into playing the ball on the leg side. The ball moving in and Gilchrist went for a huge heave on the leg side. The ball did not connect to the middle of the bat. It hit the edge and went straight up in the air and Foster the wicketkeeper immediately calls for it. He went under it, waited and waited and then caught the ball safely. <br /> <br />Azhar was happy and so were his teammates. They had gotten their main man. Gilchrist could have hurt them a lot with his bat but not anymore. Azhar was there for him.
