'Hum usko dudh aur haldi dete....': Pakistan star Shadab Khan makes hilarious statement while addressing question on Colin Munro's injury

Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan made a hilarious statement when quizzed about an update on star batter Colin Munro's injury after winning the Pakistan Premier League (PSL) match against Multan Sultans on March 10 (Sunday). While Shadab didn't have a solid update on Munro's injury, he said that they will give 'dudh and haldi (milk and turmeric)' to the Kiwi batter so that he recovers quickly and becomes available to play in the playoffs.

"Munro wasn't able to perform well at the start, but we wanted to back him. We'll try to give him milk and turmeric powder to get him fit," Shadab was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz at the post-match presentation.

Munro was struggling with a hamstring injury during his match-winning knock against Multan Sultans.
