#4 Shadab Khan (Pakistan)

The 18-year-old spinner has impressed with the ball in the ongoing series against West Indies

In a humdinger of a match in Port of Spain, in the second T20I between West India and Pakistan, it was 18-year old Shadab Khan’s spell that proved to be the difference. West Indies had a small target of 133 to chase and were cruising at 60 for 1 in the 9^th over.

But Shadab changed things around quickly getting the big wickets of Marlon Samuels and Kieron Pollard. His match figures were astonishing – 4 overs, 1 maiden, 14 runs and 4 wickets. West Indies eventually lost by just 3 runs.

Shadab had shown signs of his talent a few days before in Barbados with figures of 4-0-7-3 that restricted West Indies to just 111 allowing Pakistan to win by 6 wickets.
