Multan Sultans' Owner's Statement
In a video released on the official Twitter handle of Multan Sultans, their team owner, Ali Khan Tareen, made the decision official. The initiative was announced within just two days of the start of PSL 2025.
"We [Multan Sultans] have decided that in this [Pakistan Super League] season, we will support charity [foundations] in Palestine," announced franchise owner Ali Khan Tareen via video message. "We have decided, on behalf of our batters, that whenever any player from Multan Sultans hits a six, we will donate Rs 100,000 to Palestinian charities," he said.
The Sultans have already donated 1.5 million for every six hit and every wicket taken by the players in their match against the Karachi Kings. Though Multan Sultans lost the match, their initiative made a massive contribution toward children who have been affected by the Gaza conflict.
