Who is Muhammad Abbas? A resident of Lahore who created HISTORY on his ODI debut against Pakistan

The first match of the three-match ODI series between Pakistan and New Zealand began today in Napier, where Muhammad Abbas created history with his debut match itself. He became the first batter in the world to score the quickest half-century on ODI debut.

The young batter achieved this feat by scoring a half-century in just 24 balls. Before him, this special record was in the name of Indian allrounder Krunal Pandya, who had scored a half century in 26 balls.

Since Abbas achieved this massive feat, let us tell you some information about this 21-year-old player. He was born on 29 November 2003 in Lahore city of Punjab, Pakistan. His father is Azhar Abbas, who was a medium pacer of Pakistan.

Azhar Abbas could not get any success in Pakistan so he went to New Zealand, but there also he could not make it to the New Zealand team. Now, his son is making his dream come true.

In his debut match, Muhammad Abbas came in to bat at sixth position, and managed to score 52 runs in 26 balls. He even hit three fours and as many sixes during this. He was eventually caught out by Babar Azam.

Muhammad is currently 21 years and 120 days old, and he bats with right hand while bowling medium pace with left hand. Talking about his domestic career, he has played 21 first class matches, 15 List A matches, and 19 T20 matches so far.
