Pakistani pacer Ali was involved in a heated exchange with the reporter during a media interaction following the conclusion of the PSL players’ draft. Ali opted to cut short the question of the journalist before fuming at him during the eventful press conference.

Ali was castigated by trolls after the pacer dropped the match-changing catch of Matthew Wade who fired Australia to the final of the World Cup at the time.
