🔥 PSL Starts with a Major Controversy
Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 has kicked off with a shocking controversy that has stunned the cricket world.
During a live match, the white cricket ball unexpectedly started turning pink, raising serious concerns over match standards and equipment quality.
The incident has now gone viral globally, putting PSL under heavy criticism.
⚠️ What Exactly Happened?
The unusual incident occurred during a match in Lahore.
Players noticed that the ball’s color was gradually changing. The reason?
👉 The jersey dye from players was transferring onto the ball
Cricketers often rub the ball on their jerseys to maintain shine. However, due to poor-quality fabric, the color started sticking to the ball — turning it visibly pink.
😳 Labuschagne Raises Concern On Field
Australian star Marnus Labuschagne was quick to react.
During the match, he approached the umpire and questioned the situation:
“The ball is turning red/pink… what’s happening?”
He reportedly said he had never seen anything like this before in professional cricket.
😬 Social Media Explodes
The incident triggered a wave of reactions online:
- Fans mocked PSL’s quality standards
- Comparisons with IPL started trending
- Memes flooded social media within minutes
Even former Pakistan cricketers joined the criticism, calling out the league’s management.
This incident has raised serious concerns:
🚨 Big Blow to PSL Reputation
- Equipment and jersey quality questioned
- League professionalism under scrutiny
- International players’ trust at risk
For a league competing with the IPL, such incidents can damage credibility significantly.
