Born on the third of October, 1991, Sonu Khan stepped into the world with a cricket bat seemingly etched in his destiny. Hailing from a small town where cricket was played with fervour on dusty pitches, Khan began nurturing his cricketing skills at an early age. His innate love for the game led him to local cricket clubs, where his dual ability to wield the bat aggressively and bowl with precision didn’t go unnoticed.

Khan’s transition into professional cricket was more evolution than revolution. He climbed the ranks of the domestic circuit meticulously, mastering the art of adaptability—an allrounder in the truest sense. His professional debut came in the year 2012, a monumental day which saw him move effortlessly between roles; one moment anchoring the batting line-up, the next delivering game-changing spells with the ball.

While many players focus on one facet of the game, Khan’s nimble batting approach allows him to alter his gameplay according to the situation, whether it’s calculated defence or explosive offence. His bowling, though equally diverse, doesn’t just depend on sheer pace but on a rare knack for swinging the ball, which has often bamboozled batsmen.

Khan’s career is adorned with remarkable achievements. He became a pivotal part of his national team’s triumph in the 2015 regional championship, where his allround performance lit up the tournament. His contributions on the field were undeniable, setting and breaking records along the way. There was the memorable Test series against the visiting Australians in 2018, where Khan not only secured a five-wicket haul but also scored a century—solidifying his reputation as one of the most formidable allrounders of his generation.

Rivalries have always added an extra layer of intrigue to cricket, and for Khan, his on-field battles with a certain left-arm spinner from a neighbouring country became stuff of legend. Their contests seemed less about one-upmanship and more about pushing each other to their limits, capturing the imaginations of fans and the back pages alike.

Perhaps the most defining moment of his career came during a crucial World Cup semi-final, where his late blitzkrieg with the bat saw his team snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It wasn’t just a win; it was a testament to Khan’s impact on the game—a reminder of an allrounder who refuses to be defined by boundaries.
