Again, Shadab Khan takes four wickets, but it is a lost cause since Galle Marvels are performing better than his squad.
Shadab Khan, a Pakistani all-rounder, is having a fantastic season in the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2024. He has performed in 2 matches in a row for Colombo Strikers, each of which he has taken four wickets. After a disastrous performance during the T20I World Cup 2024 campaign, this has come about.
Shadab became the second bowler in the history of the league to score a hat-trick on Tuesday, following in the footsteps of Wanindu Hasaranga. This accomplishment occurred in Shadab’s first match of the LPL 2024 season.
As a member of the Colombo Strikers, he scored 20 runs off of 17 with the bat, contributing to the team’s overall score of 198. The Falcons, who were their opponents, were defeated by a score of 51 runs.
He was given the title for player of the match for his bowling performance against Kandy Falcons at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka. His performance resulted in four wickets for twenty-two runs.
A further four wickets were taken by Shadab in the subsequent encounter, which took place on Wednesday. However, the match was a loss for his team because Galle Marvels surpassed them by seven runs.
At the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, the player for the Colombo Strikers grabbed four wickets for twenty-one runs.

Shadab Still Trolled Despite 8 Wickets in 2 Matches
Shadab Khan’s hat trick did not receive the attention that it deserved, which is something that one would typically anticipate after an achievement of this magnitude.
In spite of this, he was subjected to trolling and instead questioned about his intentions while he was playing for Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup 2024, which had recently come to a close. Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage itself. Shadab Khan has only taken one wicket in his past nine Twenty20 Internationals, and he has not taken a single wicket in the Twenty20 World Cup.
When it comes to the bat, he has not been that remarkable either. In his last nine Twenty20 International matches, he has scored three ducks and six single-digit outings. Now, he is also being subjected to a significant amount of trolling on social media.
With the help of Shadab Khan’s hat-trick, the Colombo Strikers were able to secure a significant victory over B-Love Kandy in the Lanka Premier League 2024 by a score of 51 runs. However, he continued to receive trolling from fans.
During the encounter between Colombo Strikers and B-Love Kandy in match 3 of the Lanka Premier League 2024, which took place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Wednesday, July 2, Shadab Khan scored his first hat-trick.
This was the second hat-trick in the history of the Lanka Premier League. He was a significant contributor to the Strikers’ victory, which they achieved by a score of 51 runs. That being said, he continues to be subjected to trolling and criticism from fans over it.
In recognition of his remarkable hat-trick, the all-rounder was awarded the title of Player of the Match. He only allowed 22 runs to be scored against him while taking four overs. It is reasonable to anticipate that both the Pakistan squad and his LPL side will anticipate that he will be able to maintain this form and perform extraordinarily well in the same manner in each of the next matches.
