Multan Sultans head coach Abdul Rehman said Pakistan big-hitters Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah are “two very good lower order batsmen.”
He noted that having both players in the Sultans’ squad is a huge plus point as they can inflict a lot of damage with the bat, while also being utilised as part-time bowlers.
So far in the ongoing 2024 Pakistan Super League (PSL), Iftikhar has scored 172 runs in eight matches, which includes a top score of 60 not out, at an average of 57.33 and a strike-rate of 200.
As for Khushdil, he has amassed 57 runs in eight games at an average of 19 and a strike-rate of 142.50.
“There is Iftikhar and Khushdil. The teams with strong lower order get more advantage and we have two very good lower order batsmen who play for Pakistan. It’s a major point,” Rehman told The News as quoted by Geo Super.
