Aayan Afzal Khan has been making headlines in the ILT20 Season 3 with his exceptional performance. In a recent match, he set a new record for the best figures by a UAE player in DP World ILT20 history, taking four wickets for just 16 runs. Despite his outstanding performance, the Gulf Giants lost to the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by 37 runs.
Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh praised Aayan’s talent and highlighted his potential to win the Blue Belt award as the most valuable UAE player. Harbhajan noted that Aayan has been performing exceptionally well since the first season and could be a key player as the tournament progresses.
The ILT20 Season 3 features six franchise teams competing in 34 matches across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. The league continues to showcase the depth of international and local talent while fueling the growth of cricket in the UAE.
