Emerging from the sun-kissed isles of the Maldives, Ibrahim Hassan has charted an impressive journey through the world of cricket, establishing himself as a formidable allrounder. Born on 21st April 1991, in a country more renowned for its scenic beaches than sporting arenas, Ibrahim's rise to the cricketing sphere has been nothing short of inspirational.

From his early days wielding a bat in the narrow alleys of Malé, Ibrahim showed flashes of prodigious talent. His childhood was steeped in passion for the game, often playing on makeshift pitches with friends. Recognising his potential, local coaches nurtured his abilities, particularly his aptitude for both batting and bowling, leading him to hone his skills as a right-hand batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler.

Throughout his career, Ibrahim has been known for several remarkable feats, including his breathtaking innings against regional rivals Sri Lanka, where he nearly single-handedly led his team to an unforgettable victory with a rousing 83 off 54 balls. His fierce rivalry with players from neighbouring cricketing powerhouses transformed matches into thrilling spectacles, often drawing massive viewership and attention.

Technically sound, Ibrahim's batting is defined by his clean, powerful strikes and an ability to accelerate quickly during innings. As a bowler, his fast-medium pace deliveries have the knack for breaking crucial partnerships. The combination of his batting prowess and bowling efficacy earned him the reputation of a true match-winner.

A pivotal moment came when he successfully defended 10 runs in the final over against Afghanistan, illustrating his cool demeanour under pressure and cementing his place as a national hero.
