aur unhone is baat ko 2025 ke season mein ek baar phir sabit kiya. Multan Sultans ke khilaf khelte hue United ne scoreboard par 251 runs ka azeem total saja diya, jiski badaulat unhone PSL history ke top 5 highest totals ki elite list mein apni jagah pakki kar li. Ye innings unki batting depth aur aggressive mindset ka aik behtareen namuna thi.

Is innings ki sabse khaas baat ye rahi ke ye kisi ek player ka show nahi tha, balki poori team effort thi. United ke har aane wale batter ne unke signature style ko barkarar rakhte hue pehli ball se hi attack shuru kiya aur scoreboard ko tezi se aage badhaya. Isi musalsal dabao ki wajah se wo itne bade total tak pahunchne mein kamyab rahe, jo unki team strategy aur "United Way" cricket ki jeet thi.
