About Multan Sultans
Multan Sultans joined the PSL in 2018 as the league's sixth franchise, representing the historic city of Multan in South Punjab. They wear a distinctive blue kit. Despite being the newest franchise, they have become one of the most successful teams in the competition.
PSL Championship Success
Multan Sultans won back-to-back PSL titles in 2021 and 2022, making them the second franchise after Quetta Gladiators to win consecutive championships. Their rapid rise from newest franchise to dominant champion reflects exceptional team management and player recruitment.
Mohammad Rizwan — The Franchise Icon
Mohammad Rizwan is the defining figure of the Multan Sultans era. His captaincy, aggressive opening batting, and wicketkeeping brilliance propelled the Sultans to back-to-back titles. Rizwan's consistency at the top of the order in both campaigns was the cornerstone of the championship runs.
Playing Style and Squad Depth
The Sultans are known for a top-heavy batting order complemented by disciplined, match-winning bowling. Shahid Afridi, Imran Tahir, and various overseas pace bowlers have contributed to their bowling depth. Home matches at the Multan Cricket Stadium — a modern, high-capacity venue — give them significant crowd advantage.
