Multan Sultans' pacer Ihsanullah, who bagged best player award in Pakistan Super League (PSL) season, received a heroic welcome at his home.

After bagging two awards in PSL 8, Ihsanullah returned to his hometown on Monday. From friends to family members, everyone gave a warm welcome to Ihsanullah.

Ihsanullah became the first-ever emerging player in the history of PSL to bag best player of the tournament award. The right-arm pacer took 22 wickets and displayed an impactful performance to get his hands on two awards.

Speaking in an interview after receiving his award, Ihsanullah thanked Allah. "Thanks to Almighty Allah for this award. I would like to dedicate this award to my father who supported me throughout my journey," he said.

Ihsanullah remained the pick of the bowlers for Multan throughout the event. Mohammad Rizwan-led Multan played the PSL final for third consecutive year.

To a query about his learning experience in his first-ever PSL season, Ihsanullah credited Rizwan and the company. "My experience has increased a lot. Rizwan Bhai and other seniors supported me. Alhumdulillah I performed for my team. I will try to continue this performance ahead," he concluded.

Before Ihsanullah, no bowler could win player-of-the-tournament award. The previous seven winners of this award are: Ravi Bopara (2016, Karachi Kings), Kamran Akmal (2017, Peshawar Zalmi), Luke Ronchi (2018, Islamabad United), Shane Watson (2019, Quetta Gladiators), Babar Azam (2020, Karachi Kings), Sohaib Maqsood (2021, Multan Sultans) and Mohammad Rizwan (2022, Multan Sultans).
