Born on the 22nd of October 1983 in India, Murad Jiwa emerged from the cricketing heartland with a promise that saw him through to a remarkable career as an allrounder. From the crowded streets of his hometown, where tennis ball cricket was a daily ritual, Jiwa channelled his passion into a structured journey that led to his professional debut. Showing early sparks of talent with both bat and ball, Murad carved his way through local league systems until his prowess couldn’t be ignored by state selectors.

When he finally stepped onto the field in his professional debut, fans anticipated fireworks—and Jiwa delivered in spades. Not just a steadfast right-hand batsman, his right-arm fast-medium bowling brought him regular comparisons to the legends of the sport. During pivotal moments in matches, Murad was often called to bolster his team with either a crucial innings or a breakthrough on the bowling front. He combined agility and raw power in his bowling action, and with the bat, he had an uncanny ability to pierce gaps in the field, effortlessly blending aggression with elegance.

Murad’s career is punctuated with notable performances and achievements. In the 2008 championship series, his innings of 142 not out cemented his reputation as a match-winner, while his bowling in the final match of the same series brought the spectators to their feet, picking up three wickets in critical stages of the game. This particular championship victory was among many to which Murad contributed, leaving an indelible mark on the league’s history.

Matches against rival teams were occasions where Jiwa truly shone. A series against a particularly formidable opponent in 2012 saw him at his combative best. His well-executed plans and adaptability under pressure led him to outfox batsmen as well as set aggressive fields that confounded his rivals. Such battles became part of the thrilling narratives that highlighted his career.

Significant moments such as hitting six sixes in an over during a domestic match, or completing a hat-trick under lights in a high-pressure night game, further elevated his status. Each outing on the field added to a career defined not only by skill but also by a palpable impact on the sport, firmly establishing Murad Jiwa as one of the memorable allrounders of his generation.
