Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan has been in terrific form in the PSL. Playing for Islamabad United, he recently hit a 42-ball 97 against Quetta Gladiators.
New Delhi: Hard-hitting Pakistan batter Azam Khan brushed aside his comparison with India’s Tim David and stated he is more inspired by Tim David of Australia. Khan has been in terrific form in the ongoing Pakistan Super League for Islamabad United.
Son of former Pakistan wicketkeeper Moin Khan, Khan has been a sensational performer in the T20 league around the world. He had scored a ton in the Bangladesh Premier League and missed on another by three runs a couple of days before against Quetta Gladiators in PSL.
Incidentally, Gladiators is being coached by Moin. Speaking on his comparison with Suryakumar, Khan stated his batting position is much more difficult compared to the Indian and takes inspiration from the David.
“The position I bat at, you know the situation is quite different and more difficult. Either the score is about 40 for four or 180 or 160 for two, so then you need to just go and finish the match. But I am more inspired by Tim David,” Khan told pak.tv.
“He hits big shots and I know and understand his batting role because I bat in the same position. Suryakumar often plays one down which is like top order,” added the Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter.
