Zaheer Abbas, famously known as the “Asian Bradman,” was one of the most stylish and prolific batsmen to grace the game. Though born in Sialkot, Zaheer’s cricketing roots are strongly tied to Karachi, where he refined his game and became a domestic powerhouse before breaking into international cricket.

Renowned for his elegance, timing, and effortless strokeplay, especially through the covers, Zaheer was the first Pakistani to score over 100 first-class centuries—a monumental achievement that placed him among the global elite. His ability to dominate bowling attacks, particularly spin, made him a feared batsman across the cricketing world during the 1970s and early ’80s.
