While everyone’s counting the days till Kane Williamson joins the Karachi Kings squad, the team has already made a loud statement in PSL 10 — and it came without their big-name.
You know your team’s doing something right when fans are excited about a superstar’s return… but not desperate for it. That’s exactly the vibe around Karachi Kings right now.
Kane Williamson, the classy former New Zealand captain, is officially on his way. According to sources inside the Kings camp, Kane is expected to arrive in Pakistan on April 23 or 24.
But hold on—he’s still got some IPL commentary duties to wrap up, which means he’ll miss at least five matches of the league. Yes, that includes the one he already missed.
In the meantime, Karachi Kings have brought in U19 star Saad Baig as a partial replacement. The young left-hander joined the squad just in time for their clash against Multan Sultans, and while he’s still new to the big stage, it’s a solid move to cover the gap.

David Warner, the newly-appointed Kings captain, got off to a dream start in his PSL leadership journey. Chasing a massive 235-run target against Multan Sultans, the Kings pulled off one of the most thrilling run chases we’ve seen in the league.
James Vince went absolutely ballistic, smashing 101 off just 43 balls. That’s right—101 runs, 14 fours, and 4 sixes. The man was batting like he had a plane to catch.
Meanwhile, Khushdil Shah played the perfect supporting act, scoring a fiery 60 off 38, laced with five fours and four sixes. The two added a whopping 142 runs together, swinging the game firmly in Karachi’s favour.
What stood out in this victory wasn’t just the scoreboard—it was the intent. Karachi looked like a team that’s ready to prove a point this season.
Karachi Kings now face Lahore Qalandars in their second match, and it’s shaping up to be a cracker. The rivalry is real, the stakes are always high, and with the kind of momentum Karachi have, Lahore better bring their A-game.
