Following his remarkable display against Peshawar Zalmi at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium last night, the 25-year-old has achieved this milestone three times in a single PSL game, a record unparalleled in the competition’s history. In the latest match, Shadab scored an impressive 80 runs and claimed 3 wickets, earning him the well-deserved title of the man of the match.
Ravi Bopara, the English all-rounder, stands as the only other player besides Shadab Khan to have achieved this feat more than once, accomplishing it twice. However, Shadab’s three instances set him apart as the top performer in this category.
