Sajid Khan Gets Awarded The 'Player Of The Match'
It was a very close call between Sajid Khan and Nauman Ali for the 'Player of the Match' award, but it is the latter who gets the award for his 9 wickets throughout the match, and 24 runs across two innings.
"Absolutely, we have lost the last couple of series, we were putting a lot of effort and at the end it has worked out for us. Well, it gives me a lot of energy so I thank all the fans to support me and keep enjoying. Thank you so much. Well it is always important to bowl in partnerships, we constantly had a chat and got the job done for us," said Sajid Khan.
"We both tried to contribute with the bat as well. Agha Salman played one of the best knocks in his test match career. Also really happy for my best friend, Kamran Ghulam who got a hundred in his Maiden Test Match," he added.
