His rivalry with Australia's leading fast bowler became a thrilling chapter in his career and sparked many memorable on-field duels that fans cherished.

Ali’s trophy cabinet is adorned with numerous accolades, but it’s often the impactful moments that stand out. His crucial innings during the World Cup semi-final, where he amassed a rapid 75 under pressure, remains etched in the annals of cricketing history, proving his mettle as a match-winner. Off the crease, his surprisingly handy off-spin bowling has occasionally turned games around, making him a versatile asset to his team.

A player with an adaptable style, Ali organises his innings with precision and flair, switching gears as the situation demands. Despite the records and the heights he’s achieved, it’s perhaps his infectious enthusiasm and commitment to the sport that leave the deepest mark.
