Pakistani Star Azam Khan remains focused on his team’s goal

Dubai,
Azam Khan, the renowned hard-hitting Desert Vipers’ batter, is upbeat for the ILT20 Season 3. The right-handed Pakistan international (14 T20Is) played a pivotal role in the Vipers’ previous campaign, which saw them narrowly miss out on a playoff berth. With the start of the new season approaching, Azam is ready to once again bring his aggressive style of play to the field.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the ILT20 Season 3, Azam Khan said, “I’m really excited for the next season. I had a great season last year, which brings the same excitement to go out and play for the Desert Vipers again. There will be new challenges, but we’ll focus on executing on the ground and winning for the team.”
ILT20 Season 2 saw the power-hitter register the fastest half-century in the competition’s history. Azam reached the milestone in just 18 balls, studded with five fours and four sixes, to power the Vipers to a victory against the Gulf Giants.
Looking back on the achievement, and shedding light on his approach to the game, Azam expressed, “I’ve always said that cricket is a game that won’t just give you success, but it’ll also bring failures in your career. For me, it’s about going out there and dominating the other side. That’s what I always try to do whenever I go out there.”
Azam’s reputation as one of the most aggressive batters in the game today has made him a fan favourite with his batting stints echoed by ‘Azam, Azam’ crowd chants in Season 2. Expressing gratitude for the love and adulation he receives, the 25-year-old said, “It’s a great adrenaline rush for me whenever I go out to bat and hear the crowd roaring. It’s an amazing feeling for any player, any batter. I’ll try to make sure I bring the same excitement for the fans this year as well.”
