Social media erupted with criticism after the Pakistan Super League<\/a> staged a dramatic pre-match act during the clash between Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars. Even before the first ball was bowled, a scripted mascot scuffle at the toss grabbed attention, leaving players, commentators, and fans amused.The light-hearted \u201cfight\u201d between the mascots quickly went viral, with captains David Warner and Shaheen Shah Afridi struggling to contain their laughter. However, it was commentator Ramiz Raja who stole the show with his witty, play-by-play narration.\u2018Don\u2019t spoil the pitch!\u2019 \u2013 Ramiz adds comic goldAs the mascots mock-wrestled near the pitch, Ramiz turned the moment into pure entertainment with his humorous commentary:\u201cWell, it is called the classico. We’ve got Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars at each other’s throat before the toss. And there’s a little bit of scuffle, I think, and nothing serious. I just\u2026 don\u2019t spoil the pitch, please. I think that’s enough. Enough, guys, enough. You can leave now. We can have the regular toss in now.\u201dThe humour continued as he turned to Warner and added:\u201cThere’s a little trailer for you, David. In case you didn’t realize the rivalry between Lahore and Karachi, we enacted one for you.\u201dWhile the moment entertained many, social media had mixed reactions. Several fans trolled the PSL for what they called an unnecessary and \u201cover-the-top\u201d act, questioning the need for staged drama before a high-profile game. Others, however, enjoyed the light-hearted build-up, calling it a fun way to highlight the rivalry.<\/p>\n
