"Playing in front of home crowd and winning MoM award was something I always wanted" : Shoaib Malik

Man of the match and Series, Shoaib Malik speaking at end of the 3rd T20I

Playing in front of home crowd and winning mom was something I always wanted

I train everyday and you always want to look good

If you are consistent then that also gives younger players confidence also

No matter what pitch you play on you have to take few balls to settle down

Taking singles regardless of what format you are playing is key

Hasn't he already won a lot of MOM awards in Pakistan's wins in Pakistan? Pre 2009?

Dont remember many standout performances of his. Might have won when he used to be opener during Inzi times

He has won three Man of the Match awards at GSL previously. One was post-2009... the ODI against Zimbabwe in 2015 (I think it was his comeback game).

Oh yes, I forgot that game totally, I think his best years were from 2004-2009. He was our best batter in ODIs from 2005-2008. Still remember his heroics against India home and away during that time. That 90 off 68 balls in the first ODI in 2006 was totally magical.
