Azam has already surprised everyone with his exceptional batting talent; such knocks are proof of that. His performance led his team to 220 against Quetta Gladiators, eventually winning the match by 63 runs as Quetta Gladiators got all out at 157 runs.
Another fact that makes Azam’s innings unique is that his father, Moin Khan, coaches Queeta Gladiators, the team he wiped out with his dominating batting performance.

Azam has made his International debut against England in T20Is but has yet to deliver charisma. He has scored six runs in the three T20 internationals he has played. However, he is still considered one of Pakistan cricket’s most promising cricketing talents. The win inclined Islamabad United’s position in the points table as they are now at the second spot, winning 3 of their four matches.
