"Well done boys," says the cricketer, who himself proved that age is just a number by scoring the fastest 50 in Pakistan's T20 history during the tournament.

The cricketer said that these achievements show that the entire team focuses on one thing — that it gets top ranking, "not only in one format, but all three formats".

"Believe me, the team won't rank top with individual performances but with the unity in the team," said Malik.
