[Saba Sports News] Recently, Mohammad Amir, currently playing for Quetta Gladiators in PSL 2024, was visibly upset with fans who taunted him by calling him a ‘fixer’ post-match against Lahore Qalandars in Karachi. Despite delivering a performance with figures of 1/30 in four overs, his post-game interaction garnered more attention.
A circulating video captured Amir confronting a spectator who insulted him, leading to an exchange of harsh words. “Fixer ke bachhe! Ghar se yahi seekh kea ate ho (Is this what your parents have taught you?),” Amir can be heard saying.
This incident echoes Amir’s past involvement in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal during a Test match at Lord’s, where he was implicated for deliberately bowling no-balls under instructions, resulting in a five-year suspension. This season, Amir’s performance has been modest, with six wickets in seven matches, though he notably dismissed Lahore’s captain, Shaheen Afridi, in their recent game.
The match concluded dramatically as Quetta secured a win in the final ball, advancing to the knockout stages, with Amir contributing significantly in the closing overs. His reaction to the fan’s provocation has sparked discussions, highlighting the ongoing challenges he faces regarding his past.
