An epic drama played out in the media room during the pre-event press conference ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 final. The media manager of the Multan Sultans and the journalists got into a verbal altercation while they were assembled in the room for the team’s press conference.
The reporters weren’t pleased with the manager’s actions when Multan coach Abdul Rehman showed up to talk to the media. The manager asked the journalists, who were unhappy with the proceedings, to leave if they so desired. A few chose to listen and leave the room.
In the clips circulating on social media, a journalist can be seen speaking to the media manager before starting to walk off. “It’s ok, those who don’t want to sit can go,” the media manager stated in Urdu.
