"Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli," Shaheen replied during '25 questions' on ESPNCricinfo when asked about his dream hat-trick wickets. 

The 21-year-old had removed both the openers, Rahul and Rohit, early in the innings which didn't allow India to post a big total. The pacer also got the then India captain Kohli out in the death overs, as Pakistan restricted India to an average total of 151/7.

During the same interaction, Shaheen was also asked to name the most prized wicket he has taken so far in his career. He answered, "Virat Kohli".

Shaheen has been awarded the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy and recognized as the ICC Men's Cricketer of the Year in 2021.
