Adnan’s romance with cricket began at a tender age, honing his skills on the local pitches where he played endless matches with friends. His prodigious talent soon caught the attention of regional coaches, and by the age of 16, he was a fixture in the Karachi under-19 squad.

Among Adnan’s notable achievements is his pivotal role in leading his domestic team to victory in the National T20 Cup, where his unbeaten century in the finals remains etched in memory. He has also set the record for the fastest fifty in the history of the PSL, a feat that sent his fans into a frenzy and asserted his position as a formidable batsman.

Adnan's career is punctuated with intense rivalries, particularly against the Lahore Qalandars, where matches are imbued with an electrifying atmosphere. His ability to turn the tide with his bat during critical encounters has earned him a reputation as a match-winner.

One of the most significant moments in Adnan’s burgeoning career came during a much-anticipated clash against India, where his composed half-century in a tense run-chase not only swayed the game in Pakistan's favour but also won him accolades and admiration from cricketing purists.
