Pakistani cricket star Mohammad Haris has taken to Instagram to share an update on his team’s performance in their ongoing tournament, revealing a less-than-ideal start with just two victories from their first five matches.
Slow Start But Eyes On The Prize
The wicketkeeper-batsman posted a candid assessment of their campaign so far, writing: “2/5 wins for us. Not the best start. But it is how we finish the tournament that matters. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament.” The post included a trophy emoji, signaling his optimism despite the early setbacks.
Who Is Mohammad Haris?
For those unfamiliar with Haris, the 23-year-old right-handed batsman has been making waves in Pakistani cricket. He made his international debut for the Pakistan cricket team in December 2022. He’s particularly recognized for his performances in T20 cricket, especially in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) where he plays for Peshawar Zalmi.
Haris has represented Pakistan in multiple formats and is known for his aggressive batting style and wicketkeeping skills.
Recent Cricket Journey
In March, Haris posted about completing a training camp at Kakul, stating: “Kakul camp completed ✓ really enjoyable time comes to an end with the team 🇵🇰.” The Kakul camp is known to be a rigorous fitness and training program often used to prepare Pakistani cricketers for upcoming challenges.
More recently, Haris was featured in a post announcing his arrival for the current HBL PSL X season alongside teammate Saim Ayub, with the caption: “All eyes on the new arrivals — @iamharis63 and @saimayubb are here to light up #HBLPSLX ⚡.”
Beyond Cricket: Personal Milestones
Away from the cricket field, Haris has recently celebrated significant personal milestones. In March 2024, he shared posts about his wedding, with separate posts for his Nikkah (Islamic marriage ceremony) and Walima (wedding reception). He captioned his Nikkah post with “Nikkah day and forever, Alhamdulillah for this blessing,” while his Walima post expressed gratitude “for the love and support” and thankfulness to Allah for the union.
These personal updates provide a glimpse into the life of the cricketer beyond the boundary ropes, showing his balanced focus on both professional achievements and personal happiness.
Professional Growth
Haris has also been expanding his professional portfolio. In January 2024, he announced a new partnership with CP Bats, posting: “Extremely excited to join @cpbats loving the equipment. Look forward to this new journey🏏.” This equipment sponsorship represents another step in his developing cricket career.
Additionally, he recently shared a motivational video with the caption: “This is my journey of dedication and hard work, fueled by inspiration and driven by the pursuit of greatness,” indicating his commitment to continuous improvement in his craft.
The Road Ahead
Despite the current tournament not starting as well as hoped with only 2 wins from 5 matches, Haris’s positive outlook suggests confidence in his team’s ability to turn things around. His focus on how they “finish the tournament” rather than dwelling on early setbacks demonstrates the resilience that top athletes must cultivate.
With Haris’s batting prowess and experience in pressure situations, he’ll likely play a key role if his team is to improve their performance in the remaining matches. Cricket fans will be watching closely to see if his optimistic outlook translates to an upturn in results as the tournament continues.
For now, the trophy emoji in his post serves as both a reminder of the ultimate goal and a statement of intent from a player determined to end the PSL competition on a high note, regardless of how it began.
