Pakistan opening batsman Yasir Khan said he knows he is “a 100-run player” because of all his hard work.
The 22-year-old from Bannu noted that he trains days and night to ensure he can keep performing at the highest level.
His comments come after he represented the Stallions in the Champions T20 Cup, where he made 232 runs in seven matches at an average of 33.14 and a strike-rate of 149.67.
Yasir’s most notable performance in the tournament came in the final as he struck a superb 100, which came off 57 balls and included five boundaries and seven sixes.
“I’ve worked very hard, day and night, to get to this point, and I know that I am a 100-run player,” he was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
