Zahid Durani's journey to cricketing prominence began in the narrow streets of his native town, where the clangour of improvised cricket sessions ignited a fiery passion in the young lad born on 19th March 1999. This enthusiasm soon found its rightful place on structured pitches as he joined a local club team, where his talent caught the eyes of youth selectors. It wasn't long before Zahid found himself at the helm of age-group cricket, representing his state at various junior levels with extraordinary flair that foretold his burgeoning potential.

Quickly making a name for himself as a formidable batsman, Zahid's initial seasons were punctuated with remarkable performances, including a memorable hundred against a seasoned bowling attack that sealed his reputation as a player for tentpole occasions. An adaptable technique has always been Zahid's hallmark, allowing him to skillfully dissect any given pitch condition or bowler strategy. As a batsman, he combines a classical posture with modern aggression, seamlessly shifting gears from watchful to explosive when the situation demands.
