From the dusty streets where he first picked up a bat, Khalid's prodigious talent was apparent, quickly earning him a spot in local clubs and gradually catapulting him onto the national stage.

Khalid's professional debut came with much fanfare in the early 2000s for his domestic side, Karachi Kings, where he announced himself as a cricketer to watch. His adaptable batting technique allowed him to navigate the trickiest situations with flair—whether it was steadying a faltering innings or launching an all-out assault in the death overs.
