India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2018 Super Four: Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq introduced the world to a player he considers to be as identical to Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik as can be. The 20-year-old Sialkot-born is named Saif Badar. The journalist vouches that the cricketer bats like Malik walks like Malik and runs like Malik and of course his idol is Shoaib Malik. Sadiq’s tweet read, “20-year-old Sialkot-born Saif Badar. He bats like Shoaib Malik. He walks like Shoaib Malik. He runs like Shoaib Malik. His hero, of course is Shoaib Malik.”

In the video, you get to see his stance and the straight-drive which is extremely identical to Malik.
Meanwhile, Malik has been in red-hot form in the ongoing Asia Cup. Malik scored 43 against India in the group stage match, he then scored a match-winning 51* against Afghanistan to see Pakistan over the line in the last-over thriller. And in the Super Four match against India, he again came good scoring 78 off 90 balls. His innings comprised of two sixes and four boundaries. He was out with the score on 203/5. At the time of filing the copy, Pakistan was 233/6 in 49 overs.
Chahal, Bumrah and Kuldeep has picked two wickets apiece.
