“My greatest motivation is my father. Against all difficulties, he constantly supported me and gave me the mental fortitude to perform well “says he.

“He informed me about the criticism and gave me advice on how to respond to it. I hope to continue making him happy.”

Azam smashed a scorching 97 runs off only 42 balls against the Gladiators, who dropped their fourth consecutive match. He made eight maximums and nine boundaries.

The right-handed batsman contributed to United scoring the highest total of the tournament (220-6) by helping the side rack up 92 runs in the final five overs at a strike rate of 230.95.

“In T20 cricket, strike-rate is really important. This is how I like to play, and I really like it “said Khan. “You have a very short window of time to set up when you bat as I do. As a result, you must be prepared to whack the ball forcefully “Added he.

Azam claimed that he preferred attitude to method. He continued, “I have to practice a lot for new shoots, though.”

The little batter gave his parents, who were in the stadium watching the game, credit for his game-winning hit. When my mum and father come to watch the game, I find myself under a lot of strain,” he remarked.

Khan, who has played for Pakistan in three T20 Internationals, declared himself fit enough to do so once more.

“I make an effort to take advantage of any chance I get. I’m in decent shape and ready to represent Pakistan whenever the chance arises “Finally, he said.
