Thoroughly deserved.

He led the fight against SA and started all of this.
 
Thoroughly deserved! I hope he goes on to became a brilliant bowler, he's world class, love everything about him.
 
How disgraceful!!! bumrah is the best bowler! Indian bowling is 10000x better than Pakistans.

Jk
 
Fast bowler Hassan Ali was named player of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 after he bowled Pakistan to its maiden ICC Champions Trophy title at The Oval.

Sunday’s 181 runs victory over traditional rival India was also Pakistan’s first title in a 50-over tournament since winning the ICC Cricket World Cup 1992. It had won the ICC World Twenty20 England 2009, and as such, has become only the fourth side after India, Sri Lanka and the West Indies to win all the three ICC majors.

Hassan also won the Golden Ball trophy after finishing the series with 12 wickets, while India opener Shikhar Dhawan, who had won the player of the tournament in 2013, walked away with the Golden Bat trophy with 338 runs.

Hassan Ali was in sublime form in the tournament when he displayed excellent variation, picked up wickets consistently and in crucial phases during Pakistan’s successful journey in the competition, which had started with a 124 runs drubbing at hands of India at Edgbaston on 4 June.

After being at the wrong end of the stick against India when he picked up one for 70 in 10 overs, Hassan bounced back strongly and returned figures of three for 24 against South Africa, three for 43 against Sri Lanka, three for 35 against England in the Cardiff semi-final and three for 19 in the final against India.

As such, he finished the series with 13 wickets at an average of 14.69 and an economy-rate of 4.29.

Hassan was selected as the Player of the Tournament by a five-person selection panel that comprised Geoff Allardice (ICC General Manager – Cricket, and Chairman Event Technical Committee), former captains Michael Atherton of England, India’s Sourav Ganguly, Ramiz Raja of Pakistan, as well as Lawrence Booth (Editor, Wisden Almanack, and cricket writer, The Mail) and Julian Guyer (correspondent of the Agence France-Presse).

Meanwhile, Dhawan won the Golden Bat trophy after finishing as the leading run-getter.

The left-hander scored 68 against Pakistan, 125 against Sri Lanka, 78 against South Africa, 46 in the semi-final against Bangladesh and 21 against Pakistan in the final.

ICC Champions Trophy Player of the Tournament winners:

1998 – Jacques Kallis (South Africa)
2000 – Not awarded
2002 – Not awarded
2004 – Ramnaresh Sarwan (West Indies)
2006 – Chris Gayle (West Indies)
2009 – Ricky Ponting (Australia)
2013 – Shikhar Dhawan (India)
2017 – Hassan Ali (Pakistan)
 
Well deserved. Don't be surprised to see county deals and the big t20 leagues come calling now.
 
Thoroughly deserving.
Did they right on his medal this is the guy who brought a new attitude in the Pak camp to herald a new era for the team?
Truly this appears to be a Miandad six moment which had changed the fortune of Pak team for the next few years, so expect more glory from this team from here on.
 
His wickets in consecutive deliveries against SA and the running catch lifted the spirits of the team. That was the turning point for us in this tournament.

I have said this a dozen times already, but he is the best thing to have happened to Pakistan cricket in a long time. He is proof of what separates a decent player from a star.
 
Well deserved

Just need to be careful about people he meet don,t want to lose him

What a boss :djb
 
Really loving this guy. Please get the man of the tournament in the 2019 World Cup as well boss.
 
Great, great find. This guy won't have been playing for PAK till 2020 without Arthur.

Every great fast bowling all-rounders in the game (even Kallis), started career as a better bowler, or at least equal and then gradually developed their batting. I am not comparing with anyone, but Hasan,along with Amir has a tremendous potential to become world class bowling all-rounders; someone who can make the starting XI in any condition simply as a bowler & contribute with 20/100 sort of stats from No. 8/9. For that, he needs to work really, really hard, but to his favor age is at his side. Imran remodeled his action at around 25,which I think is Hasan around now & Imarn wasn't a decent bat until he was in his mid 20s. What he needs now is couple of years of County, who'll play him as a strike bowler (short but fast spells) rather than container & allow to bat at 7. Also, his new ball skills will improve significantly under Pro coaches in County & most importantly, he'll become physically stronger. County cricket is not only top competition or facilities, rather it's a perfect lifestyle of a developing young, Pro cricketer. He and Amir can serve PAK cricket till 2025 CT as 2 premium cricketers in world.

If I am to choose a CT team of the tournament, this'll be my XI (XV)

1. Dhawan
2. Tamim
3. Williamson (VC)
4. Kohli
5. Stokes
6. Sarfraz*+
7. Sakib
8. Starc
9. Amir
10. Hasan
11. Tahir
--------------------------
Wood, Fakhar, JK, Root

Honorable mentions: BKumar, Pandeya, Morgan, Hazzlewood, Rohit, Mahmudullah, Buttler, Mushi,

I pick, Ken as Sarfu's deputy, because today I wasn't impressed at all with Virat's Captaincy. He looses it under pressure.
 
Well deserved was nothing short of exceptional with the ball this tourney. Thought it was a masterstroke to have him bowl with the older ball. Was on the money and kept the pressure on in the middle overs and made it real tough for the opposition batsmen. Allowed Pakistan to pull things back even after not so good starts.
 
well deserved. was there when he bowled that tournament turning spell vs SA. the catalyst for our resurgence along with fakhar.
 
my boyyyyyyyyyy - well deserved and humble and inshAllah many years to come for Hasan with Pakistani outfit.
