Who is Hasan Nawaz? Bio, Family, Record Century, and Net Worth
Hasan Nawaz, a 22-year-old top-order batter from Layyah, South Punjab, has redefined Pakistani cricket with his explosive talent. Born on August 21, 2002, in Islamabad, he smashed the fastest T20I century for Pakistan—105* off 44 balls—against New Zealand on March 21, 2025, in his third international match. From tape-ball streets to global headlines, here’s the story of this rising star.
From Layyah to Limelight
Layyah hadn’t produced a cricketer since Munir Malik in the 1950s—until Hasan Nawaz came along. Moving to Islamabad, he played for Lucky Star CC and broke out in the 2022 Kashmir Premier League with Mirpur Royals, scoring over 200 runs at a strike rate near 150 alongside Shoaib Malik.
Domestic Grit and PSL Rise
Signed by Islamabad United for PSL 2023, Nawaz faced limited chances and an injury. In 2024, he hit back with a first-class ton and a stellar T20 Champions Cup—second-most runs and sixes, striking at 140+. Now with Quetta Gladiators for PSL 2025, he’s ready to dominate.
Record Century Tribute: Fastest T20I Ton
Nawaz’s debut was grim—two ducks against New Zealand in March 2025. But on March 21 at Eden Park, he turned it around. His unbeaten 105 off 45 balls (10 fours, 7 sixes) sealed a 9-wicket win and broke Babar Azam’s 49-ball record. It’s a tribute to his grit and a sign of Pakistan’s bold future.
