LOL - there is this weird culture in Pak where they are obsessed with social media.
Show some resilience.

He says he tries to ignore it

Rare to see a Pakistani batsman who is strong on backfoot and can effortlessly hit sixes. Offside game is weak. We should keep an eye on him. Can be next Sharjeel.

That flick shot against dahani for 6 in the start was a good one...

A guy who is not afraid to pull, that is refreshing.

I hope he keeps his words true about social media because it is even more dangerous than any other thing for a player.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Keep focusing on domestic cricket and stay away from posting videos and having shenanigans on social media. Cricket players should be known for their cricket and I hope he remembers what he said about the media and stays true to his game...

Looks like a promising young gun... One for the future..

He should have been in PSL.
