"Hadn't been getting chances to bat so thought I'd make the most of this opportunity" : Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan after winning the Man of the Match award against SL:

"Hadn't been getting chances to bat so I thought I would make the most of this opportunity and help team"

"The coach had ordered us to bat out all 50 overs"

"Our bowlers are giving outstanding performances so we always believe we can win games"

"We had discussed about how to get Chandimal out and it seems plan worked"

"I wanted to be MoM in ODIs and also player of the series"

"Babar Azam said he doesn't mind if he keep scoring centuries and others win Man of the Match awards as long as we are winning the match"

"This is an overall team effort - I play as an all-rounder so I try to help in both batting and bowling"

"I usually batted in the middle-order at the U19 level and thanks to Allah I performed well there also"

"There was a lot of dew in the previous game as well as today but we're professional cricketers"

"It's a bit difficult but we're professional cricketers and we have to deal with it"

"This pitch was very slow in comparison to the Dubai pitch"

You can see that he is a nr 6 someone who can bat in tough circumstances instead of being a lower order hitter ala Hassan Ali.

Still very young and should bat at his rightful position in the future.

Special talent and IA will become a world class all rounder.
Great potential and a team player.

 

[babajee]

Should be groomed at 6 in the future. Fantastic player.

 

[Hasan123]

Brilliant talent. I am a big fan of Shadab. Hopefully he gets more chances with the bat. Inshallah his bowling keeps developing as well. Needs to add some consistency to his bowling. Currently he gives away too many loose balls, but he has the potential to pick up wickets.

 

[choclate]

if he builds up muscle and can hit a few out of the park can become a perfect player at #6 for us as long as he keeps his consistency with both ball and bat. Imad Wasim now needs to step up

 

[mak36]

That's a pretty clear signal to the management that he wants to bat higher up, and he should be in my opinion.

Excellent talent, great energy and more importantly a team player. I am so happy Mickey is coach right now, everyone will see how much Shadab develops under his tutelage.

That said, he is one of the best fielders in the team right now and I still can't believe he dropped that sitter today.

 

[Plumb]

He should absolutely come before sarfi. Sarfi is under pressure right now with captaincy(just my take) if Sarfi takes his mind off his batting and let the youngsters go out and express themselves that 'll be great.

 

[nads_rocks]

Open the innings with him he'll deffo do more than Shahzad and Hafeez put together.

 

[maxamax]

Looks promising with the bat, Must come before Hafeez/Imad/Sarfi. He's a genuine all-rounder.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Shadab has definitely showed his worth as a batsman and I don't really mind his SR today because he needs more opportunities with the bat to show greater performances. The six hitting ability is there so we're going to have to be patient. Imad also needs to show hunger for the same thing, looks like a one-trick-pony with the ball and looks like a rich mans Abdur Rehman with the bat.
