The spark of amusement came from Multan Sultans’ fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani. Known for his witty social media presence, Dahani couldn’t resist a playful jab at teammate Iftikhar Ahmed regarding the pre-wedding event of Anant Ambani.
The ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) has witnessed an unexpected turn of events, with the opulent Ambani pre-wedding celebrations taking center stage for a brief moment. The extravaganza, hosted by India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani for his son Anant, managed to infiltrate the world of PSL not just through social media buzz, but also with real-world consequences.
The spark of amusement came from Multan Sultans’ fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani. Known for his witty social media presence, Dahani couldn’t resist a playful jab at teammate Iftikhar Ahmed. Sharing a post on his X account (formerly Twitter), Dahani captioned it, “Last minute Ambani pre-wedding invitation for Iftikhar Bhai,” accompanied by the popular hashtag #Iftimania. This lighthearted post poked fun at Iftikhar’s flamboyant celebrations, often referred to as “Iftimania,” while simultaneously referencing the grand Ambani affair.
The Ambani wedding’s influence went beyond mere social media jokes. Karachi Kings’ star all-rounder, Kieron Pollard, reportedly made a last-minute decision to prioritize attending the pre-wedding ceremony in Mumbai. This unexpected departure created a significant gap in the Kings’ batting lineup.
Pollard, known for his explosive power-hitting, is a vital cog in the Karachi Kings’ machine. His absence had a tangible impact, forcing him to miss the crucial match against the in-form Multan Sultans, the same team Iftikhar Ahmed plays for alongside Dahani.
While the Ambani extravaganza stole the spotlight for a brief moment, the PSL continues to deliver exciting cricket. The unexpected absence of Pollard presents a challenge for the Karachi Kings, but the league thrives on its unpredictable nature.

Fans eagerly await Iftikhar’s next explosive performance on the field, hoping it will be even more spectacular than receiving a “last-minute Ambani invite.” Whether the Karachi Kings can overcome the Pollard-sized hole in their lineup or if Iftikhar will lead the Multan Sultans to another victory remains to be seen.
One thing is certain – the Ambani pre-wedding festivities created a unique ripple effect in the PSL, adding an unexpected layer of drama to the already exciting cricketing action.
