Can Maaz Sadaqat become the next big star in cricket? The young all-rounder has already made waves in the Pakistan Super League 2026, scoring a stunning half-century in just 19 balls.
In a recent match against Multan Sultans, Sadaqat scored 62 runs off just 26 balls, helping the Hyderabad Kingsmen post an impressive total of 225-5 in their 20 overs. His explosive batting style has drawn comparisons to some of the best in the game.
With over 3000 runs to his name and an average above 35, Sadaqat has proven his mettle across formats. His recent performance in the President’s Cup 2025, where he scored 374 runs in seven matches, earned him his first ODI call-up.
However, Sadaqat’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. He missed the opening match against Lahore Qalandars due to injury concerns. Coach Jason Gillespie confirmed that he has started training and is hopeful for selection in upcoming matches.
“Maaz has started training today. He’s an important part of our squad,” Gillespie stated. “We’re hopeful he will be available for selection tomorrow.”
Sadaqat’s rapid rise in the PSL has been marked by his aggressive batting, with his recent innings ensuring the Kingsmen reached 100 runs in just 9.2 overs. This performance is one of the fastest half-centuries in PSL history.
As the tournament progresses, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Sadaqat will continue to develop his skills and contribute to his team’s success.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding his full recovery timeline, but the cricketing world is watching closely.
