Khalid Mahmood Babar, born on the 1st of January 2000, in the bustling city of Karachi, has emerged as a beacon of promise and talent in the world of cricket. From his formative years, Khalid was never far from a cricket bat, whether it was honing his skills in the narrow lanes of Karachi or emulating his cricketing idols on the telly. It was clear from a young age that Khalid was destined for the big stage, and he has taken every opportunity to prove just that.

Khalid’s journey to professional cricket began in local clubs and schools, where his adaptable batting approach caught the eye of selectors. Known for his unyielding determination and a sharp cricketing brain, he soon found himself in the spotlight. His domestic debut came in the 2017-18 season, where he quickly made a name for himself with a remarkable century that left both crowds and critics in awe. This early showcase of talent cemented his place as a force to be reckoned with in Pakistan's cricketing circles.

Throughout his burgeoning career, Khalid has topped countless leaderboards and contributed significantly to his team's victories. He was integral in clinching the National T20 Cup for his team in 2021, where he emerged as the tournament's leading run-scorer. His agile footwork and keen eye for the ball have made him a formidable batsman, with a batting style reminiscent of a seasoned chess player – always thinking several moves ahead.

Khalid has also had his fair share of rivalries that have added spice to his career, none more thrilling than his ongoing tussle with the fiery pacer from India, Arun Verma. Their recent face-off in the Asia Cup 2023 final was nothing short of epic, with Khalid's strategic innings steering his team towards a nail-biting victory.

While primarily celebrated as a batsman, Khalid's versatility extends to his bowling. His knack for breaking partnerships with his handy off-spin has saved his team on more than one occasion. A particularly memorable instance was during a tight ODI match against South Africa, where his unexpected three-wicket haul turned the game on its head.
