Shadab Khan (Photo Source: X) Lanka Premier League (LPL) player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. In his very first match, he took a hattrick against Kandy Falcons and since then has taken 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in this LPL season. Shadab himself admitted that it has been a remarkable turnaround for him; after not taking a single wicket for Pakistan for quite some time, he is enjoying his return to form in Sri Lankan conditions, especially at his team’s home ground Colombo. Shadab Khan gave this statement on his comeback “I was struggling for three months. I hadn’t taken a single wicket in the last seven international matches. Coming here, starting bowling and now always taking wickets – that’s the beauty of cricket. You should enjoy these situations; sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t. But there should be consistency in the process.” “The pitch was slow and a bit grippy, which helped us. But T20 cricket is very challenging now, with 200 runs being easily achievable. As a spinner, you need variations to succeed on different tracks. Without variations, you can score runs, but with them, you can also take wickets and stop runs. It is important to land the ball in good areas.” “I am performing well for my team and that is a good sign. Taking wickets as the main bowler is positive for me and my team. I want to contribute in all three phases – bowling, fielding and hopefully with the bat as well.”
