Sajid Khan, the latest sensation in Pakistan cricket, proved to be a thorn in England's side during the second Test at Multan. While England's opener Ben Duckett showcased his batting prowess with a sublime century of 114 runs, it was Khan who stole the spotlight by claiming seven wickets, leading Pakistan to a promising position. The match unfolded dramatically as Duckett’s aggressive innings seemed to set a strong foundation for his team; however, Khan's relentless spinners dismantled England’s hopes with three crucial strikes late in the game, leveling the score and leaving both teams in suspense.

But who exactly is Sajid Khan? Once an ambitious young man selling cellphones in his local market, he found his escape route through cricket. Working through countless struggles, Sajid persevered, earning his place in the national team thanks to sheer determination and talent. Transitioning from a modest market vendor to a star in the cricketing world speaks volumes about his character and resilience. His performance on the pitch reflects this journey, as he continues to inspire countless young cricketers back home and around the world.

During the match, Khan's remarkable 7-wicket haul (7/111) has not only showcased his spinning skills but also his ability to perform under pressure. This achievement marks his second five-wicket haul in Test cricket, stimulating discussions around his potential as Pakistan's leading spinner in future series. His emotional celebration following the wicket of England's key players displayed not just joy but a testament to a man who has faced numerous challenges to reach this point.

The match sets an exciting stage as Pakistan eyes their first home Test win after a long wait, with Sajid Khan’s spellbinding bowling proving to be instrumental. With a lead of 118 runs at the end of day two, the visitors will have to dig deep to counter Pakistan's bowling attack.

Fun Fact: Sajid Khan is not only a lethal bowler but also has shown glimpses of batting talent, contributing runs when his team needed them most! Additionally, Ben Duckett’s journey to form has been remarkable, and he recently said he hopes to ensure that his performances become consistent, bridging the gap between individual brilliance and team success!
