Karim Ahmad

Karim Ahmad, born on 1st January 2001, has emerged as a formidable force in the cricketing world, dazzling crowds with his prodigious batting talent and versatile bowling. From a young age, Karim showcased an uncanny knack for the game.

Encouragement from his family and coaches saw him join a local cricket academy at ten, refining his skills with remarkable dedication.

His journey to professional cricket was no fairy tale, filled with hard-earned breaks and unforgettable innings.

His breakthrough came during a scorching summer in 2018 when he scored a remarkable 150 not out in the semi-finals of the National Junior Championship, an innings brimming with elegance and grit that captivated selectors.

Karim's professional debut in first-class cricket came in 2019.

Ahmad's adaptability at the crease is nothing short of enthralling. His ability to shift gears effortlessly keeps bowlers guessing, whether it's dispatching a fiery bouncer to the boundary or deftly placing a sweep against spin. While originally a specialist batsman, Karim has developed into a handy bowler. His off-spin deliveries, while occasional, can inflict damage as they did during a surprise three-wicket haul against Lahore in 2021, showcasing his all-around capabilities.

Major accolades started pouring in as Karim consistently starred in pivotal matches.
