Shadab Khan has achieved teh success because of his allround abilities. The moment he started identifying as a bowling allrounder is the moment Shadab took the lead role in Islamabad United.
Now, let’s see how much more Shadab can improve on these stats. If Islamabad wins today’s match, and continues till the final, he will have the opportunity to become the best allrounder in the history of Pakistan Super League.
