Islamabad United’s middle-order batsman, Asif Ali, has replied to all the trolls after a noteworthy performance against Lahore Qalandars just yesterday.

Asif gave a match-winning 75 off 43 balls during a nail biting situation and got out his team from a risky situation of 20/5 to a total of 152/7.

He was named as the Man of the Match for his part that facilitated his team defeat table-topper Qalandars by 28 runs.

Talking after the match, Ali said that he is incorrectly peddled as a ‘four-over batsman.’

“Except for Islamabad United, nobody trusts my batting and backs it. Some people think that I’m only a player who can bat four overs and my message to them is that this is not the case and whenever I get the opportunity, like today, I will perform well,” he further mentioned.

“We were 20/5 and under a lot of pressure. We [Asif and Iftikhar] wanted to bat deep and set a good total on the board, which we did according to the nature of the pitch,” he said.
