In the eight games he has played, Sharjeel has scored 254 runs, which includes a century and a fifty, at an average of 31.75 and a strike-rate of 154.87.
“We have high hopes from Sharjeel Khan. He struggled a bit at the start [of PSL 6] but then he hit an amazing century. Players like him can change the game single-handedly,” Azam told Cricket Pakistan.
Azam has accumulated 424 runs in eight PSL matches, which includes five half-centuries, at an average of 84.80 and a strike-rate of 139.47.
