INTENT is INTENT yaar. This is superb innovation from M. Haris. Yes, it is okay to innovate and play different shots in this format

Brilliant knock by Mohammad Haris. 28 off 11 balls against the world’s best pace attack. An impactful innings backed by loads of intent. The runs may not reflect in future in his averages but such innings are extremely important in T20 cricket.

Mohammad Haris coming in & playing his first game of the T20 WC with the kind of intent the entire Pakistan team should have been playing with to begin with. The case of not qualifying for semis, if it does happen will be purely down to the approach,regardless of the conditions.

Mohammad Haris has made a dramatic entry in T20 squad of Pakistan. He was unlikely to play a single game of T20 WorldCup but poor performance by middleorder took Haris from traveling reserves to playing eleven. Indeed Haris has cemented his spot for the next series. #T20WorldCup
