Gulraiz Hussain

Gulraiz Hussain, born on 17th July 1994, emerged from the bustling streets of Lahore, Pakistan, where the hum of daily life often gives way to the rhythmic thud of a leather ball against a wooden bat. His passion for cricket was ignited during his childhood, playing endless matches in narrow lanes with friends and family. His early exploits in local cricket leagues caught the eye of scouts, and by the age of 16, he was a cricketing prodigy destined for bigger arenas.

His professional debut came in 2013, when he walked out to bat for Lahore’s domestic team in Pakistan's prestigious Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. A right-handed batsman with a penchant for fluid drives and precision cuts, Gulraiz quickly became the linchpin of his team's batting line-up. His ingenious shot selection and ability to adapt under pressure have not only won matches but have made him a thorn for bowlers worldwide.

One of Gulraiz's career highlights came during the 2019 Pakistan National T20 Cup, where he amassed a record-breaking 450 runs, guiding his team to victory and solidifying his reputation as a formidable batsman. Although he occasionally bowls right-arm fast-medium, it's his batting prowess that has captured hearts and headlines. He has contributed significantly to his team's success in several domestic championships, most notably when he played a crucial role in clinching the title in 2018 with a scintillating century in the finals against Karachi Kings.

Gulraiz is known for his rivalry with the Karachi-based bowler, Sameer Iqbal. Their on-field battles have become legendary, with each encounter thrilling fans and sparking debates across social media and cricket panels. One memorable match saw Gulraiz dismantling Sameer’s bowling attack with a masterful 89 not out at the National Stadium, Karachi, cementing his status as a big-match player.

Despite the glittering achievements, his journey isn't without trials. Known for his humility and grounded nature, Gulraiz's greatest impact on cricket comes from his dedication to nurturing young talent, often spending time coaching aspiring cricketers in his hometown. His passion is infectious, and his resolve to elevate Pakistani cricket to glorious heights ensures that his legacy will endure well beyond his playing days.
