Matthew Hayden, a former Australian player, said that Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan has skills like those of Ravindra Jadeja. The Australian legend knows a lot about Pakistani cricketers because he worked closely with them as a batting teacher in the last two ICC T20 World Cups.
Shadab has been one of Pakistan’s best players in recent years, and he has also led the team on several occasions when regular leader Babar Azam wasn’t available. The 24-year-old has done well in all three areas. He has been a steady batter and a great fielder, and his spin bowling has worked well.
Hayden said that Shadab Khan is a person of the highest class and that he is a three-dimensional player like Jadeja, who is one of the best players in the game right now.
“Shadab Khan is a great player. He is a person of the highest quality. “He’s a three-dimensional cricketer, like Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja),” Hayden told Star Sports.
The 51-year-old then talked about how skilled the Pakistani player was in all three areas. “He is a dangerous batter. He can do different things with the ball and he is also a great fielder. “One more thing about this: you win the World Cup with your fielding,” the Aussie said.

Hayden went on to say that players like Jadeja and Shadab will be important for any team at big games like the World Cup. He thought that catching was an important part of these things because it could change the way games go. The famous opening batsman talked about Australia’s long history in ODI World Cups and praised their great defence.
“In knockout cricket, it’s the little things that you don’t see that make a big difference. Under pressure, those saves around the boundaries and those really unique run-outs will never really be recorded in the World Cup’s statistics. “That’s why teams like Australia are so dangerous: they work well together under pressure at the most selfless part of cricket, which is effort on the pitch,” the former cricket player said.
