Shadab Khan was brilliant for the Trinbago Knight Riders in match number 6 which saw the team go head to head with the St Lucia Stars. Shadab contributed with both ball and bat as the Knight Riders defeated the Lucia Stars without much competition. With the ball, the Pakistani speedster was tremendously economical as he conceded only 16 runs from his 4 designated overs. He also picked up the wicket of Andre Fletcher who top scored for the Lucia Stars with a score of 40.

But his main contribution came with the willow in hand when he combined brilliantly with Jevon Searles to pull the team out of the danger zone. Coming on to chase a mere target of 118, the Knight Riders’ top order messed up the proceedings. A brilliant Shane Shillingford rattled the top order with big names like Brendon McCullum, Dwayne Bravo and Colin Munro failed to perform. But Shadab took the responsibility upon himself and remained unbeaten till the end to take his team past the target. While Shadab played a 30 run knock, Searles had 27 runs to his name.

The main story:

According to quotes from Darren bravo revealed by Cricout, Shadab Khan was spotted by West Indian magician Sunil Narine who is a part of the Trinbago Knight Riders team during the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Shadab represented Islamabad United in the tournament while Narine donned the jersey of the Lahore Kalandars. Getting a hint of his immense talent, Narine immediately texted Trinbago Knight Riders skipper Dwayne Bravo to pick up Shadab for their team in the CPL. Dwayne Bravo listened to Sunil Narine and ensured the services of Shadab khan for the Shah Rukh Khan owned Trinbago team.

“Narine spotted Shadab in the PSL and immediately texted Dwayne Bravo to make sure he picks him in their CPL team” Darren Bravo.

The 18 year old talent has already started delivering results for the franchise and looks set to give more to the team in future. His future looks bright as an Pakistan international too if he continues to perform in such manner.
