Born on 11th February 1997, Hamid Ullah's cricket journey began in the dusty pitches of Lahore, where he first picked up a bat with dreams as vivid as the summer skies. He was the boy who would chase the sound of leather meeting willow across sun-dappled grounds, displaying an early fascination with the sport that soon translated into undeniable talent.

From the under-15 local leagues, he soared swiftly through the ranks, eventually catching the eye of selectors. It was during a high-stakes inter-school championship where Hamid, with unkempt hair and a laser focus, blasted a record-breaking 200 not out, an innings still spoken of in reverence. This performance paved the path for his professional debut in 2015 with the Lahore Eagles. There, his ability to adapt, not only with the bat but in any situation on the field, really marked him as one for the future.

His career has been studded with achievements. Perhaps the most memorable was in the 2020 domestic championship final. Seemingly on the back foot, Hamid crafted a spectacular 150, his adaptable approach shredding the opposition's bowling lineup and securing a dramatic win. He has often been the architect of India's triumphs, his adaptability at the crease allowing him to tackle the fiercest of pacers and the trickiest of spinners with ease.

Hamid’s rivalries have added much colour to his narrative. The matches against arch-nemesis Karachi Knights are legendary. Many recall the 2019 showdown, where a verbal spat between Hamid and the fiery fast bowler Shahid Niaz ignited on the pitch. Hamid responded in the only way he knew—by letting his bat do the talking. His graceful yet ferocious innings guided his team to a hard-fought victory.

Hamid's batting style is marked by solid technique, yet he is capable of unleashing a fireworks display when the situation demands. Adept on both front and back foot, he’s unfazed by changing pitches or pressure. He also brings versatile bowling skills to the team, often catching opponents off guard with his clever pace variations.

Throughout his career, Hamid Ullah has not just contributed runs and victories, but brought a certain flair to every match he plays, reaffirming his love for the game and his place as one of cricket’s modern-day talismans. His story is still being written, messily and magnificently, with each innings a new chapter in his remarkable journey.
