Mr. Bean’s doppelganger, Pak Bean, graced the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 final between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans today in Karachi. Asif Muhammad, renowned for his uncanny resemblance to the beloved character portrayed by Rowan Atkinson, delighted fans as he mingled in the stands.
Surprising Sight
In a video circulating on social media platforms, Pak Mr Bean can be seen enthusiastically engaging with supporters, bringing smiles and laughter to the crowd. His presence adds an unexpected twist to the cricketing event, drawing attention both on and off the field.
Rise to Fame
Pak Mr Bean gained notoriety after a controversial performance in Zimbabwe back in 2016. His comedic impersonation of Mr. Bean garnered mixed reactions, including a playful jab from Zimbabwe’s President at the time, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, after Zimbabwe’s victory over Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
Exciting Matchup
Turning to the game, Multan Sultans set a competitive target of 160 runs for Islamabad United. Usman Khan’s resilient innings of 57 runs, supported by a quickfire 32 not out from Iftikhar Ahmed, bolstered Multan’s total. Imad Wasim’s exceptional bowling effort of 5/23 put Islamabad United under pressure.
Tense Battle
As Islamabad United chased the target, Martin Guptill’s aggressive 43 off 26 balls provided hope. However, Multan Sultans fought back with crucial wickets, leaving Islamabad at 79/3 after 11 overs. The match hangs in the balance as both teams vie for glory in the PSL 2024 final.
Multan Sultans Eye Second Title
