Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan says he is proud to have beaten Jos Buttler’s record for Lancashire’s fastest ever T20 half-century.<\/p>\n
Shadab took just 19 balls to achieve the feat in Lancashire’s four-run win away to Derbyshire Falcons, bettering the mark set by Buttler and Matty Hurst off 20 balls.<\/p>\n
He eventually was out for 58 off only 22 with six fours and four sixes and took 3-42 with his leg-breaks as the Red Rose secured the four points to re-ignite their T20 Blast season with a third straight victory.<\/p>\n
“If I beat Jos, it’s amazing,” Shadab told BBC Radio Lancashire. <\/p>\n
“It’s a proud moment for me because we’ve had legends of the game play for Lancashire. Now it’s my record and hopefully I’ll break my own.” <\/p>\n
Shadab has arrived as an overseas replacement for the latter stages of the T20 Blast for injured Australian Chris Green.<\/p>\n
“Lancashire is one of the biggest clubs in the country so it was a no-brainer when the opportunity came,” Shadab said.<\/p>\n
“I always enjoy it here. The Blast is one of the best and one of my favourite tournaments to play.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan says he is proud to have beaten Jos Buttler’s record for Lancashire’s fastest ever…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-670311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
