NEW DELHI: A post-match press conference in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 turned tense after Islamabad United head coach Luke Ronchi lost his cool following his team’s defeat to RawalPindiz.

The loss appeared to have left Ronchi visibly frustrated, and that frustration spilled over during his interaction with the media. The situation escalated when a journalist interrupted Ronchi while he was in the middle of answering a question. Clearly annoyed by the breach of protocol, Ronchi snapped, saying, "He can ask me a question, I don't give a s**t.

RawalPindiz break losing streak in PSL 2026 Despite being out of contention for the playoffs, RawalPindiz finally had a reason to celebrate. The franchise, playing its debut PSL season, had endured a difficult campaign with eight consecutive losses before this match.
However, they managed to turn things around in their penultimate game. The bowling unit, led by Mohammad Amir and Saad Masood, played a crucial role in restricting Islamabad United to a below-par total. In the chase, a steady 45-run knock from Rizwan ensured there were no hiccups as the team sealed its maiden PSL victory.
