Apparently, the rivalry in Pakistan Super League (PSL) has gone beyond cricket stadium as the Karachi Kings has taken lead against Peshawar Zalmi but in another domain.
ARY News, which is owned by Karachi Kings franchise owner Salman Iqbal, gave breaking news about the alleged tax evasion by Peshawar Zalmi owner, Javed Afridi, in the import of vehicles of MG HS automobiles.
The news did not air on any other mainstream channel and not even made in the chyrons of other news outlets but only ARY News.
Some prominent journalists even shared tweets about it and tagged Javed Afridi.
