A dramatic video from Lahore has taken social media by storm, and it features none other than Pakistan and Hyderabad Kingsmen’s young all-rounder Saim Ayub. His training session turned into one of the most talked-about moments of the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2026 (PSL 2026).
Fans were left stunned after Saim’s video of batting in the tough conditions went viral across the social media platforms with some admiring his commitment while many worried about his safety.
Actually, Saim Ayub was seen practicing in the middle of heavy rain, thunder and lightning just one day before Hyderabad Kingsmen’s crucial PSL 2026 match against Multan Sultans at the Gaddafi Stadium on Wednesday (April 1). This dedication raised serious concerns over his health.

In the clip, Saim was seen completely drenched and batting in the nets at the LCCA Ground in Lahore on March 31. The rain was hitting the ground in sheets, the pitch was slippery, and thunder kept rumbling, but he yet continued his batting practice as if nothing was happening around him.
Marnus Labuschagne hails Saim Ayub's dedication
The video went viral after Hyderabad Kingsmen captain Marnus Labuschagne posted it on his Instagram story. In the clip, the 23-year-old was seen playing a big lofted shot towards the leg side despite the rain pouring down. Marnus himself recorded his practice.
He can be heard saying, "Shot Boy" after Saim hit the ball in the nets. Even the new PSL franchise also shared the clip on its X (formerly Twitter) with the caption “Saim, aap thaktey nahi ho? ?️”

— Donjuan (@santryal) March 31, 2026Saim’s intense practice session comes at a time when the Kingsmen are struggling badly. The new franchise has lost both of its matches so far in the ongoing PSL 2026, and it is currently sitting on the bottom of the points table. With their next game against Multan Sultans, pressure is huge on them.
Notably, Saim was signed by the Kingsmen for a massive Rs 126 million as a direct signing before the draft. The team expected explosive starts from him, but he failed badly. In the first two matches, the Pakistani opener has scored only 17 against Lahore Qalandars and 8 against Quetta Gladiators. His poor form hurt the Kingsmen’s momentum badly in the ongoing season.

Ayub has been facing a lot of criticism ever since his poor T20 World Cup 2026 campaign. He managed only 70 runs in five innings with the highest score of 24 and an average of just 14 in the tournament, and the Men in Green failed to make it to the top four.
Following his miserable form, the Pakistan selectors dropped Saim from the ODI squad for the recent three-match series in Bangladesh. Pakistan lost that ODI series 2-1 to the hosts.
Saim's Pakistan and Pakistan Super League numbers
Speaking about his international career, Saim played 67 T20Is, 17 ODIs, and 8 Tests for Pakistan. He has over 3400 runs across the formats at the highest level.
Across four PSL seasons, where he played for Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators, the left-handed batter scored over 950 runs and scalped 14 wickets in 40 games in the Pakistan Super League. He has also over 40 wickets to his name in international cricket.
