James Vince Scores a Century in PSL and Gets... a Hair Dryer?



In a sport known for medals, trophies, and flashy cash prizes, England cricketer James Vince just set social media abuzz by receiving a truly unexpected reward — a hair dryer — for his stunning century in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Yes, you read that right. The right-handed batter, known for his elegant strokeplay, hit a match-winning century and was handed a hair dryer as part of the "Player of the Match" presentation. And cricket fans can’t stop talking about it.

A Century to Remember

Representing the Karachi Kings, James Vince brought the heat with a blazing 100+ run knock, anchoring the innings and helping his side chase down the target in style. His innings was filled with finesse — crisp cover drives, delicate glances, and a calm temperament under pressure.

The hundred not only earned him praise from pundits and fans alike but also grabbed attention for what came after the match.

The Hair Dryer Moment: What’s the Deal?

During the post-match ceremony, instead of the usual trophy or cash cheque, Vince was presented with a premium hair dryer — a product sponsored as part of the PSL’s quirky and creative award branding strategy.

It’s not uncommon for T20 leagues to get inventive with sponsorship tie-ins — from electric scooters and luxury watches to smartphones — but a hair dryer took things to another level. Naturally, fans had a field day on social media, with memes and witty captions flooding Twitter and Instagram.

Fan Reactions

Here’s how fans responded to Vince’s unusual prize:

  • “James Vince wins the 'coolest hair award' after a cool hundred!”

  • “PSL doing PSL things again — only here can you win a hair dryer for smashing a ton.”

  • “Hope he doesn’t blow away the competition in the next game too.”

Vince Takes It Sportingly

True to his composed nature, James Vince smiled and accepted the gift graciously, even holding it up for the cameras like a trophy. While he hasn't commented officially, his subtle sense of humor and calm demeanor only added to the charm of the moment.



PSL's Tradition of Quirky Awards

This isn’t the first time PSL has handed out creative prizes. In previous seasons, players have received motorcycles, washing machines, and even branded shampoo kits as part of sponsorship-driven “player of the match” gifts.

It’s part of the league's light-hearted appeal that mixes entertainment, sport, and advertising in a uniquely engaging way.

Final Thoughts

James Vince’s century may have been brilliant on its own, but the hair dryer moment added a refreshing layer of humor and light-heartedness that cricket sometimes lacks. As PSL continues to embrace both competition and creativity, we might just see more such unexpected awards in future matches.

So, what’s next — a toaster for best bowling?
