Shadab Khan is one of Pakistan’s most dynamic all-rounders, known for his sharp leg-spin, electric fielding, and aggressive batting. Born on October 4, 1998, in Mianwali, Shadab rose rapidly through the ranks, making his international debut in 2017. His variation in spin, especially the googly, made an instant impression during the 2017 West Indies tour, where he took 10 wickets in his first two T20Is. Shadab was instrumental in Pakistan’s 2017 ICC Champions Trophy win and has since remained a crucial cog in white-ball formats. As a spinner, he’s known for his accuracy, control, and wicket-taking ability in the middle overs. His economy in T20 cricket is remarkable, and he frequently breaks partnerships when the team needs it most. With the bat, Shadab has grown into a dependable lower-middle-order hitter. He’s played key cameos in several limited-overs games, including vital innings in the 2021 T20 World Cup and various bilateral series. His ability to finish games and counterattack under pressure has added a new dimension to Pakistan’s depth. As the vice-captain in white-ball formats, Shadab also leads Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), guiding the team with composure and confidence. His athleticism on the field is second to none—his diving catches and quick reflexes have often turned matches around. Off the field, Shadab is known for his sharp wit and youthful charisma. He remains grounded, consistently working on his fitness and skills. With age on his side and experience under his belt, Shadab is not only a match-winner but also a future leader for Pakistan cricket.
