His first steps onto a cricket field were marked not just by the promise of youth but by an innate understanding of the game that belied his years. Those who watched him play in the dusty grounds of his hometown often commented on his natural talent, foreshadowing the prolific career that lay ahead.

By the age of 17, Manan had already made waves in the domestic circuit with his exploits as a batsman. His professional debut came at 18, amidst much anticipation and fanfare, a brought on by his remarkable performances in youth tournaments where he amassed runs with an ease that left spectators in awe. His most defining trait, however, was his adaptability – a chameleon-like ability to adjust his batting to the demands of the match situation, whether it was consolidating an innings under pressure or accelerating the pace to put his team in a commanding position.

Manan's repertoire soon expanded beyond just batting. Although initially pigeonholed as a batsman, he developed versatile bowling skills, utilised more as a strategic weapon and less of a frontline bowler. He demonstrated the ability to break crucial partnerships with his deceptive deliveries, which became a hallmark of his gameplay.

Throughout his career, Manan’s achievements are as numerous as they are impressive. Notably, his role in securing the championship title for his domestic team in the 2023 One Day Cup where he notched a marvellous century in a cliff-hanger final remains etched in the memories of cricket fans. His tenacious knock against archrivals during an intensely contested series further cemented his position as a staple on the national squad.

He has often been compared to some of the greats, not just for his skill but for his calm and composed demeanour on the field. His career is punctuated with thrilling matches against notable teams, with his duels against ace bowlers becoming the stuff of legend.

Manan Bashir, with his masterly batting techniques and clutch all-round performances, has left an indelible mark on the sport. Whether it was a deft cover drive that pierced the tightest of field settings or a surprising wicket that turned the tide of a match, his impact is felt every time he steps onto the field.
