PSL 2026 Rain: 2026 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) has struggled to stay in the news for the right reasons. Barely a week into the tournament, the competition has already been hit by multiple setbacks, ranging from overseas players pulling out to controversies surrounding alleged ball-tampering incidents involving Fakhar Zaman, who was then handed a two-match ban. Adding to the concerns, is the hilarious footage of a PSL post-match presentation, impacted by rain, which left the presenters and the player under umbrellas.
