Punjab Kings star Shah Rukh Khan said about his great Innings
Punjab Kings star Shah Rukh Khan has been given the responsibility to play the role of ‘finisher’ in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the young batsman said that he has the ability to play in any kind of situation and at any place.
Shah Rukh Khan scored 47 off 36 balls against Chennai Super Kings on Friday, which helped Punjab cross the 100-run mark.
“My role is to be a finisher in the lower order but you can’t expect quick runs at the crease in every match because there are situations when you need to play responsibly,” he told a post-match press conference.
Khan said, “I am considered a finisher. I am a good batsman. I have been batting in the top order for Tamil Nadu for two years. I have the ability to bat in any order and get the team out of difficult situations. “
The 25-year-old batsman said that he would learn a lot from playing in the presence of top players.
He said, “The team is getting to learn many things from Nicholas Pooran, Chris Gayle, Dawid Malan, and KL Rahul.” This will definitely improve my batting. There is still a long way to go. “
