Hazratullah Zazai is one of Afghanistan’s most explosive and entertaining T20 specialists, celebrated for his powerful hitting and fearless batting style. Born on March 23, 1998, in Paktia Province, Zazai rose to international fame with his ability to dismantle bowling attacks, often from the very first over. His attacking mindset and natural power make him a dangerous player in limited-overs cricket. Zazai made his T20I debut in 2016 against the UAE and immediately stood out for his confidence and shot selection. His career-defining moment came in February 2019 when he smashed an unbeaten 162 off just 62 balls against Ireland in a T20I, featuring 16 sixes—the joint-highest in a T20 innings. This performance not only set a national record but also positioned him among the world’s top T20 performers. In T20 leagues around the world, including the Afghanistan Premier League, Lanka Premier League, and Bangladesh Premier League, Zazai has gained recognition for his match-winning abilities. With a strike rate consistently above 140, he is often tasked with giving Afghanistan a flying start in T20Is. Though Zazai has had limited appearances in ODIs and hasn’t broken into the Test side, his impact in white-ball cricket, especially in T20s, is undeniable. Coaches and fans admire his positive energy, fitness regimen, and dedication to improving his game. Off the field, Zazai is a humble personality with a growing social media presence where he shares training routines, travel moments, and fan interactions. His meteoric rise from domestic cricket to becoming a global name is an inspiration for young Afghan cricketers dreaming of international success. With age on his side and continued growth in franchise leagues, Hazratullah Zazai is poised to be a long-term force in Afghanistan’s top order.
