Srinagar: Pakistan cricket team’s fitness levels and athletic ability on the field has seen a vast improvement with strength and conditioning coach of the team Drikus Saaiman revealing who is the Fastest player in Pakistan cricket team.
In a video shared by PCB on its digital platforms, Drikus Saaiman has named the fastest player in the team and his recorded speed.
“The fastest player, and you’ll love this is Shadab, I’ve clocked him at 36 km/h. So it’s rather quick. Between the stumps you are looking at 29-30 km/h which guys tend to achieve, and Babar during innings where the other night he scored 60, he got 5-6 kms out of that. Fakhar made 118 and he got 9 km, so you’re looking at a km every 10-11 runs,” Saaiman said in a video.
Saaiman also termed pacer Shaheen Afridi as Superhuman for his ability of covering a remarkable amount of distance during the game.
“Shaheen Shah is a super human, the amount of distance he covers in a match is just stupid. He covers around 7 km for a T20 at pace, and obviously a lot of that is in his run-up. His run-up pace is 29 km/h which is rapid,” Saaiman added.
