In PSL 2025, Karachi Kings have become infamous for their quirky gift choices, and their latest one is no exception. After handing a hairdryer to James Vince following his sensational century, the franchise has raised eyebrows again. This time, they decided to gift Hasan Ali a hair trimmer for his standout performance against Lahore Qalandars. Ali had bowled a brilliant spell, taking 4 wickets for 28 runs in 4 overs, delivering some much-needed breakthroughs in a match where the other bowlers were struggling.

The hair trimmer gift was undoubtedly unusual, especially considering Ali’s remarkable contribution with the ball. Karachi Kings' team management chose not to present him with a more conventional reward like a medal or even a cash prize. Instead, they decided to go with a quirky, out-of-the-box item that left fans and critics scratching their heads. The gesture seemed to have missed the mark, with many questioning the team’s decision-making.

Despite Hasan Ali’s stellar performance, the gift did little to recognize the significance of his efforts on the field. The gift of a hair trimmer, while certainly memorable, appeared more like a comedic gesture than an appropriate acknowledgment of a match-winning effort. This unorthodox approach to awards has added to Karachi Kings' reputation for creating memorable moments—though not always for the right reasons.

Hasan Ali’s Priceless Reaction

In a now-viral video shared by the franchise, Hasan Ali examines his gift, a hair trimmer, and humorously asks, "Yeh haath ke baal ke liye bhi kaam karta hai kya?" (Does it work on arm hair too?). His deadpan reaction left fans in fits of laughter but also sparked questions about the team’s reward strategy. While Hasan took the moment in stride, cricket fans are divided—some find it a fun twist, while others feel it undermines the significance of recognizing a player’s performance. Twitter is overflowing with memes, and the hashtag "Hair Trimmer for 4 Wickets" is trending.

Though Karachi Kings may be struggling to win matches this season, they’re certainly making waves with their unconventional prize choices. If nothing else, they’re adding a quirky touch to PSL 2025, and Hasan Ali’s reaction has become the talk of the town.
