Cricketers are not new to receiving strange items or prizes as rewards for their star performances over the years, with the latest instance during the ongoing <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/psl" rel="dofollow">PSL 2025</a> making headlines. Following game three of this season between Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans, which Karachi won by four wickets, chasing 235 inside the 20th over, the franchise awarded the Player of the Match James Vince with a hairdryer, something the team faced a lot of flak for on their social media handles.
Contested at the National Stadium in Karachi, the hosts won the toss and elected to bowl first. Multan Sultan lost two wickets inside the first ten overs, but captain Mohammad Rizwan&rsquo;s unbeaten 105 &ndash; the first centurion of this edition, propelled them to a massive 234 for five in 20 overs. Considering the flatness of the track at the Karachi Stadium, the total was always within the reach of the home side.

Karachi Kings lost four wickets inside seven overs, but that was where they began doing wonders. James Vince, an England domestic great, took it upon himself to bail the team out, and he did exactly that.&nbsp;
Alongside Pakistan all-rounder Khushdil Shah, Vince added 142 runs for the fifth wicket, putting the hosts closer to a massive win. Though they lost two more wickets later, Karachi completed the chase on the second ball of the last over, creating a record.
The dugout was jubilant, and so was the dressing room morale.
<h2>Wait, What?!</h2>
Meanwhile, Karachi Kings uploaded a video on its social media handles, where the team coach was seen presenting the Player of the Match Vince with a hairdryer as a reward, with netizens wondering what&rsquo;s next for them, a mixer or a lunchbox.&nbsp;
Here are some of the funny replies to that post -&nbsp;

PSL 2025 - 'Hairdryer' prize for Karachi Kings POM James Vince. Netizens ask: Lunchbox or mixer next?

Travellers among us may have had the experience of having been overcharged by a hotel for some minor reason. It certainly is a pain to argue with the hotel management for a refund while they throw all sorts of terms and conditions you unknowingly accepted.

Charging for some genuine reason is still understandable. But a woman staying at a hotel in Australia was shocked as she was charged almost 1000 USD after she used a hairdryer.

The woman, referred to in the local media by the pseudonym Kelly, had&nbsp;booked a room at Novotel Perth Langley before a music concert.

As the hour of the concert approached, Kelly had a shower, styled her hair and then was in for a shock.

She was greeted by firefighters in her room. They went back but three days later, when she was leaving the room, she found that the hotel charged her about $940 extra. When she asked the hotel management, she was told that she was charged a fire department call-out fee.

Apparently, on the day she used the hair dryer,&nbsp;a fire alarm had been set off due to which&nbsp;the hotel had to call the firefighters. Kelly tried to convince the hotel management to reverse the charge, but they didn't budge.

"They sent no email, I called the hotel, (reception) said it was in their terms and conditions,” she lamented as quoted by the New York Post.&nbsp;

“So if you’re at a buffet and the alarm goes off are they going to charge you for burning your toast?” she added.

She sent emails to the hotel and called them repeatedly. After a while, the hotel reportedly stopped taking her calls and didn't even let her talk to a manager.

However, a manager refunded the charge a few days later.
