Yesterday’s match between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators was one of the most thrilling matches of this season’s PSL edition. In a nail-biting Pakhtoon derby yesterday, Zalmi came from behind and claimed their victory against the Gladiators. All of this was possible courtesy the captain of Zalmi, Daren Sammy!

Like a dedicated captain, Sammy did everything within his capacity to lead Zalmi with the victory. Zalmi needed 16 runs from 7 balls and the skipper made sure he played a sensational inning to give Zalmis the victory they were eyeing. The match ended with a boundary when Zalmi needed 3 runs off 3 balls, and of course, Sammy was the man to hit it!
What Made Sammy’s Performance Stand Out So Much?
Aside from how the captain took the role in leading Yellow Storm, Sammy injured his leg and despite, he continued making the hits.
The man kept his promise! <3
A wounded lion is always the most dangerous. @darensammy88 performing when the back was against the wall. Had a chat with him before the game and he promised to deliver for the team tonight. And how well did he keep his promise! No words. pic.twitter.com/BIwNwSBjcj

People Were Comparing Sammy with Different Things And Some of Made Complete Sense
Yar I have never seen McCullum act like a captain idk. He is never cheering the lads up, not even smiling, not backing them up. I mean look at Sammy. He treats his teammates like a family.

One of the best PSL matches so far ended with a complete drama and a fight put on by Daren Sammy, the Yellow Storm indeed showed their best performance.
Well done, Daren Sammy. We just love you even more now. <3
