Obaid Ur Rehman

Emerging from the cricket-loving streets of Lahore to the grand arenas of international cricket, Obaid Ur Rehman’s journey is a testament to sheer talent and determination. Born on 8th March 1999, Obaid’s cricket odyssey began at a tender age, when his innate talent for both bat and ball was noticed in local gully cricket matches. His early coaching came from his father and local mentors, who infused in him a passion for the game that propelled him through the ranks.

A right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler, Obaid swiftly made waves in age-group cricket, showcasing a knack for consistency and adaptability. His domestic cricket debut came as a teenager, donning the colours of his local first-class team where he proved his mettle as an all-rounder who could swing matches single-handedly. It wasn’t long before selectors took notice, paving the way for his professional debut in the national team by the age of 22.

Obaid’s career is studded with accolades, having played pivotal roles in securing his team a triumphant title in the national championship—a tournament where he topped the wicket charts and chalked up crucial innings with the bat. His performances earned him the distinction of being one of the youngest all-rounders to achieve such a feat, drawing comparisons with some of the game's greats.

His rivalries on the field, particularly against neighbouring teams, have added an exciting chapter to his career. In a breathtaking series against his country's arch-rivals, Obaid’s spellbinding spell of fast-medium bowling dismantled opponents with precision and pace, while his composed batting in crisis situations delivered victory from the jaws of defeat.

Obaid's playing style is a compelling mix of aggression and strategy. With the bat, he fuses technique with power, adept at handling pace while ever ready to dispatch spin. On the bowling front, his ability to swing the ball both ways at a lively pace has made him a persistent thorn in the side of batsmen worldwide.

His impact on the game resonates beyond statistics; it was his match-winning performance in a do-or-die encounter that underscored his value. As he charged in for his final over, eyes firmly set on the stumps, he epitomised the spirit of a player determined to etch his name in cricketing folklore—a player not just defined by numbers, but by moments that capture the imagination of fans and fellow players alike.
