Paul Stirling IPL team: The Irish experienced opener batter has been a prominent name across various T20 leagues in the world.

During the tenth match of the ongoing seventh season of the Pakistan Super League between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators at the National stadium in Karachi, Islamabad’s opening batter Paul Stirling, continuing with his purple patch of form, smashed a 23-ball half-century in only the 6th Over of the innings to hand his side a fantastic start yet again.

The 31-year-old from Ireland, ultimately got Out in the eighth Over at the individual score of 58 off 28 deliveries; an innings which was laden with 7 Fours and 3 towering sixes.

This is now Stirling’s 2nd fifty in three innings in the ongoing PSL, having smashed a match-winning 57 off 25 deliveries for Islamabad in his first match of the season.

The right-handed batter, who also occasionally bowls off-spin, has been quite a popular name, especially in the various T20 franchise Cricket across the world.

However, the Irishman is yet to be handed an IPL contract in the 14 editions of the marquee league’s existence.
