Azeem Gulzar

Emerging from the cricketing crucible that is the streets of Lahore, Azeem Gulzar, born on 1st January 2001, has swiftly become one of the most exciting allrounders in the world of cricket. As a precocious young talent, Azeem's early days were dominated by backyard cricket, where his raw pace and hard-hitting prowess were steadily honed. The cricketing gods smiled upon him with both gift and grit, propelling him into the local club circuit before he even donned his teenage years.

Azeem's rise through the ranks was meteoric. Showcasing consistent performances at junior levels, his break came in the form of a selection for the under-19 national team, where his ability to dismantle batting line-ups with his right-arm-fast deliveries gained serious attention. It wasn’t long before he made his professional debut, bursting onto the domestic scene with raw enthusiasm and the sort of talent that sets stadiums buzzing.

In 2021, Azeem became a household name when he played a pivotal role in his team's triumph at the National T20 Championship. Taking a remarkable five-wicket haul in the final, he was instrumental in dismantling the opposition, cementing his reputation as a big-match player. Beyond domestic cricket, Azeem’s debut in the international arena came amidst much anticipation, and he did not disappoint, contributing both with bat and ball.

Azeem's playing style is marked by aggression and flair. With the bat, he wields a right-handed stance, thriving under pressure to deliver crucial knocks when his team most needs it. As a bowler, Azeem is feared for his ability to generate searing pace and unsettling bounce, often extracting life from the most benign surfaces.

His career is dotted with enthralling duels, particularly his head-to-head contests with long-time rival, spinner Arjun Puri. Matches between their teams are much more than mere fixtures; they’re spectacles, amplifying the stakes with every meeting.

Among his many achievements, one standout moment is the final over of the 2022 Asia Cup semi-final, where he defended a mere six runs, showcasing ice-cool nerves and incisive bowling. This not only changed the match but also etched him into cricketing folklore as a player who shapes games under pressure.
