Shadab Khan made history during the first Eliminator on Friday as he became the first Pakistani cricketer to achieve both 300 runs and 10 wickets in a single PSL season.

On the bowling front, Shadab showcased his skill by securing 10 wickets across 10 matches, maintaining an economy rate of 8.58.

As the skipper of Islamabad United, Shadab led his team to victory against Quetta Gladiators in the first Eliminator. United is now gearing up to face Peshawar Zalmi in the second Eliminator scheduled for Saturday.
