The second season of the T10 League commenced on Wednesday with the match between Sindhis and Rajputs at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. However, the encounter turned out to be a one-sided game owing to a knock of 74 runs from 16 balls from Mohammad Shahzad, the Afghanistan batsman, that helped the Rajputs emerge victorious by 10 wickets with six overs to spare.

The Rajputs were chasing the target of 95 in 10 overs and apart from Shane Watson of Sindhis, who scored 42 from 20 balls, no other batsman was able to get the measure of the Rajputs’ bowling. Former Indian bowler Munaf Patel was their standout bowler with three wickets. Thereafter, Shahzad came to the party and made a mockery of the target. His knock was laced with six fours and eight sixes.

Quite expectantly, after the jaw-dropping knock, Shahzad was ecstatic. Nevertheless, he mentioned that he doesn’t prefer giving the yo-yo Test. While talking to the Ramiz Raja during the post-match presentation, Shahzad said, “I don’t like Yo-Yo test. Some people score 20 in the test still they can’t hit a six. I do not care about the Yo-Yo test.”

Earlier, the swashbuckling revealed that he takes care of his fitness but at the same time he eats a lot as well. He also doesn’t want to have a fitness routine like the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, who is amongst the fittest cricketers among the current pool of cricketers. He backed his comments by saying that he can mack huge sixes than the Delhi-born cricketer.

Apart from his knock, Brendon McCullum, who was at the non-striker’s end, also did his bit with a knock of 21 runs from eight balls as Rajputs tracked down the target in merely four overs. Sindhis used four bowlers and each of them conceded over 20 runs. Even Jofra Archer, who has been phenomenal in white-ball cricket over the last few months, wasn’t able to stop Shahzad.
