MULTAN: Multan Sultans all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed has said that his team wants to become the champions of the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Multan, who have won three matches in a row to start PSL 9, will face Peshawar Zalmi today.
“Our focus is on becoming champions.” We talk in the dressing room about becoming champions. If we play top class cricket consistently, we can become champions and we have promised to play good cricket in all three departments of the game,” Iftikhar told a press conference.
Iftikhar managed an 11-ball 34 to guide Multan Sultans to a five-wicket win over defending champions Lahore Qalandars at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday night.
Iftikhar said there is no room for relaxation at any stage of the event.

“PSL is the kind of event where there is no room for relaxation and that is a fact as a team and as a player. You cannot afford to relax,” said Iftikhar.
He admitted they missed chances in the field and will need to improve.
“We made lapses in the field, dropped catches and Rizwan missed a chance. He rarely does that. We will have to improve our fielding. If you want to become champions, you will have to do everything perfectly,” he concluded.
