#5 Sharjeel Khan
There are few batsmen who could strike the ball as cleanly as Sharjeel Khan and he is undoubtedly a key component of the batting line up. Pakistan, in the recent past, have struggled in the big-hitting department and the left-handed batsman has indeed injected some spunk into their batting.
Both in the domestic and international circuits, the Pakistan opener has impressed with his unflinching style of play. Playing for Islamabad United in 2016, Sharjeel had blasted to a century in one of the knock-out clashes to stamp his authority.
If Pakistan has to give India a run for their money in the tournament’s most anticipated clash, Sharjeel’s role an opening batsman will be of utmost importance.
