Cricket lovers of Pakistan have been praising Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Iftikhar Ahmed who was incredible in yesterday's final of the National T20 Cup between Central Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He had been ravishing throughout the National T20 Cup 2021-2022. Not only was he a man of the match in the final, he made 409 in the whole mega event and also added eight wickets in his career bag.
Earlier in 2019, former chief Misbah ul Haq during a press talk said that Iftikhar Ahmed is an emerging player whose skills need to be cemented by supporting him in every aspect. After watching his stunning knock-in final, fans came to Twitter in his support adding that he is in the sublime form which could have been used in the upcoming mega event T20. Some of the reactions are here:
After seeing his current performance, i wish he could be in ???????? squad

Not so long ago, everyone wanted Iftikhar out of national team because of his international failures. Now everyone wants him in the squad. PCT fans are a mystery.
