Born on April 15, 2006 in the city of Faisalabad, Mohammad Zeeshan is the next in line among the incredible young pacers produced by Pakistan for decades. Apart from troubling the Indian batters in the ACC U-19 Asia Cup 2023 clash on Sunday, December 10, he demolished the batting lineup of Nepal a couple of days prior, registering figures of 6-19 in 9.2 overs which included a maiden.
A video of Mohammad Zeeshan has gone viral on the social media platform X, in which he was spotted celebrating the wicket of Rudra Patel in his face after nicking him off through to the wicket-keeper Saad Baig. The outpouring of aggression from the 17-year-old was a sign of what’s to come from him in the remainder of the U-19 match against India, which he ended with figures of 4-46, including a maiden in his allotted 10 overs.
