Born on 13th November 1985 in the bustling city of Lahore, Mohsin Bajwa’s cricketing journey began, like so many others, on the gully streets of Pakistan. Armed with a natural flair for the game and a fierce competitive spirit, Mohsin's early days were filled with countless hours gripping a makeshift willow while assuming the role of both batsman and bowler—a foreshadowing of his dual abilities.

His innate talent soon elevated him to club cricket, where his right-hand batting prowess and right-arm fast-medium deliveries began catching eyes. Mohsin, however, found his true calling behind the stumps. His cat-like reflexes and the ability to read the game made him a perfect fit as a wicketkeeper, a role he would go on to make his own in Pakistan's domestic circuits. Aged 22, he made his professional debut, donning the cricket whites for Lahore Lions in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, and marked the beginning of a decade-long career filled with highs and lows.

Mohsin’s career is decorated with numerous accolades. His pivotal role in Lahore's triumph at the 2010 and 2013 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy stands as a testament to his skills, where he not only safeguarded the stumps but also chipped in with crucial middle-order runs. Notably, in a thrilling match against Karachi Kings in 2012, his lightning-fast stumping of their ace batsman—a defining moment—turned the game on its head and cemented his status as a sharp gloveman.

His style, aggressively poised as a right-handed bat and bowler, showcased versatility. While his bowling often rattled opponents with deceptive bouncers and swing, his batting was coloured by bursts of aggression and strategic patience, often stabilising innings with crucial partnerships under pressure.

Rivalries with Karachi Kings became career icons, intensifying with each face-off, becoming must-watch spectacles in local circuits. Mohsin’s engagements with arch-rivals have gifted fans unforgettable moments—most notably the last-over heroics in the domestic T20 finals where his calm head marshalled Lahore to a sensational victory, defending mere eight runs.

The legacy Mohsin Bajwa leaves is one defined by his passion and unyielding dedication to cricket. Through his dynamic play and strategic acumen, he's indelibly etched into the annals of Pakistani cricket, inspiring young wicketkeepers and medium pacers for generations to come. In his imperfect yet illustrious journey, Mohsin has, without doubt, made an indelible impact on the game.
