Shadab Khan Great Talent - Best Wickets Compilation

Shadab Khan born in in 1998 in Mianwali has already created ripples with his leg-breaks at the under-19 level. Coming from a city which has produced stalwarts like Imran Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq, Shadab moved to Rawalpindi at the age of 12 and started picking up the nuances playing for his school team. He accelerated his growth and while being at the NCA, Lahore, he got valuable inputs from former greats like Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed.

He was selected for the under-19 World Cup and ended up being the joint highest wicket-taker for his team. He picked up 11 wickets from 6 games at a terrific average of 19. Not exactly like a typical spinner, Khan loves to toss the ball up. The run up to the crease is from a wider angle and then suddenly bends in to come close to the wickets to get the ball to drift away from the right-handers. His consistent performances ensured defending champions Islamabad United drafted him in for the second edition of the PSL. Even in PSL 2, Shadab impressed with his guile and flight and ended the campaign with 9 wickets from 8 games.

That prompted the selectors to award him a T20I cap against the Windies in march 2017. His figures of 4-0-7-3 in his first game won him the Man of the Match award.
