@Source: news18.com
Mohammad Nabi is arguably the greatest cricketer from Afghanistan. In the last 18 years, the 40-year-old cricketer has played in more than 440 T20 matches for more than 40 teams around the globe. Nabi, who last played a T20I match for Afghanistan in December 2024 against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club, is plying his trade in the Shpageeza Cricket League these days for Mis Ainak Knights, and on Tuesday (July 22), he is in action against Amo Sharks.
During the first half of the match taking place in Kabul, the 40-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder bowled one over for the Rahmanullah Gurbaz-led side and conceded 12 runs. He was introduced to the attack in the ninth over, but on the first ball he got smacked for a big six by his 18-year-old son, Hassan Eisakhil.
Eisakhil, who is a top-order batter, played a lofted shot against his father and added half a dozen runs to his and his team’s total.
The clip of him smacking Nabi for a six was shared on X by fans, and it is now going viral on the internet.
Here’s a look:

Eisakhil, unlike his father, is a specialist batter and has played a total of 25 T20 matches so far, in which, with the help of four half-centuries, he has amassed a total of 599 runs.
The right-handed batter scored 52 runs from 36 balls for Amo Sharks on Tuesday as well and helped them post a total of 162 runs on the board in 19.4 overs.
In the first two matches of the Shpageeza Cricket League, he scored 6 and 35 runs.
Eisakhil has played for the Afghanistan team in the 2024 U-19 World Cup.
Nabi to play for Afghanistan with Eisakhil
Nabi was set to retire from ODIs after Champions Trophy 2025 but he decided to take a U-turn from his retirement plan. Nabi, while speaking to ICC in February expressed his desire to play for Afghanistan at the highest level with his son Hassan Eisakhil.
“These might not be my last ODIs (the Champions Trophy), and I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. I’ve discussed with the senior players, and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we’ll see. It will depend on my fitness,” Nabi was quoted as saying by ICC.
“It’s my dream (to play together for the country), and hopefully we can do it. He (Eisakhil) is doing very well. He is a hard worker, and I’m also pushing him to work,” he said.
