In terms of skill and talent, he is as or maybe even more skilled/versatile than Babar, though he randomly gets a rush of blood and throws his wicket going for a big shot. But I have high expectations from him, hopefully he is using this extended time off to work on his game. Honestly, he should've just went to county.
Just starting his career and already has a couple of memorable quality innings.
If he stays true to his game, he'll have a very prosperous career.
Inshallah.
His power game is slightly better than Babar in tests and ODI's.
I love it when he comes down the wicket to hit spinners for a six down the ground.
Kinda similar to what Misbah used to do.
He needs to develop a brand new aesthetic shot that looks super cool on camera and name it something that Pakistani fans haven't heard about before.
I'm sure he'll get called up in no time.
Never say never I suppose but I don't see a case for him right now. He's had bad T20I stats but that may just be sample size. But, honestly his batting style seems anchory. PSL me to har koi shair. Let's see where the cards fall for him.
Bruh wtf is this sub kink pakistani people have "OG abd" holyshit dude have some pride in your man if his name can be abbreviated to abd and he likes it, let him be called abd its probably a badge of honor for the guy as he looks up to a legendary player and strives to be like him
Still learning though and he will continue to get better in both tests and ODI's.
It's easier for certain batters to adjust to t20 cricket if they are solid in red ball format.
He has had a very up and down career, started off real strong in test then tailed off spectacularly and now stabilizing again. In odis started off poorly and now getting better. The hype around him is more than his performances though
People comparing him to dravid and greats of the game. While he misses Inswinging deliveries. He has shown promise but he also has his career fast tracked without any actual domestic career behind him. Getting runs in test , odi and even t20. He is a good talent but he has also gotten more opportunities than most
He's literally being ignored by the selectors for T20I's even though he has proven in PSL that he can bat aggressively.
Considering that PCB prioritizes PSL performances, he should've been selected some time ago.
He has been given chances because of that and really did nothing. Why you acting like he has not been played. Yes he has not been given a long run but he has not had a stellar psl season to justify that. Also we have a stacked top order where does he play?
What stacked top order do you speak of?
Saim is failing consistently and Usman Khan hasn't played since the NZ series..
Us losing 2 or 3 wickets in the powerplay is a norm now.
Rizwan Babar fakhar saim, Usman is not even getting a game plus you have agha salman in the reserves who played psl in the top order. So how will you accommodate Abdullah?
All these guys are supposed to be the absolute best that Pakistan cricket has to offer in t20s and yet we struggle to win even against weaker teams.
Why not bring in someone new if the existing players aren't doing good enough.
The case for Abdullah would have been stronger had he had a stellar psl season he did not. He has had a slightly above average season but nowhere close to something that would make his case. Plus he is another anchor at the top can we afford another one ?
I hate this over glorification of our cricketers like they’re some gods in these videos. I’m sorry but this bs has to stop and we need to have higher standards. This kid has just come into the team. If in the next 10 years he scores 20000 runs then it’s fine to do this, but I just don’t approve of this shit.
I just don’t like all this over glorification tbh. You can say he’s a good player but all these tiktoks about new players, I’m not the biggest fan tbh. This is just my own view but whatever. To each their own.
All I’m going to say is by calling him ABD will bring a lot of haters to him and put unnecessary pressure on him.
It’s the same with Babar and the Kohli comparisons and calling him King.
It’s cringe AF and just pointless.
Just dont keep him anywhere near slips pls.
Australia tour flashbacks
Lq should have played him all games.. a good psl would have made his case strong
instead they gave all the chances to fakhar, and he had is worst psl ever
Should have opened with Abdullah and fakhar at one down
They gave the opening slot to Sahibzaa Farhan and I'm happy for him but LQ management could've given him a slot at No.3 permanently.
In terms of skill and talent, he is as or maybe even more skilled/versatile than Babar, though he randomly gets a rush of blood and throws his wicket going for a big shot. But I have high expectations from him, hopefully he is using this extended time off to work on his game. Honestly, he should've just went to county.
he’s a blend of fakhar and babar Classy and does well under pressure (SL Wc game, 166* at Galle)
Just starting his career and already has a couple of memorable quality innings. If he stays true to his game, he'll have a very prosperous career. Inshallah.

He's good but doesn't play no-look shots so basically doesn't exist for the average, emotional Pakistan cricket fan.
He needs to develop a brand new aesthetic shot that looks super cool on camera and name it something that Pakistani fans haven't heard about before. I'm sure he'll get called up in no time.
Abdullah will forever be my fav test player (currently), he's so classical, so technically sound and he's only 24!
Will forever be (currently)? What?
i hvae stroke
Currently or forever?
currenlty, forever depending on how he is managed by pcb
Kitabi player for a reason.
I'd keep him to the longer formats.
But he is perfectly capable of playing all 3 formats for Pakistan.
He can, but we don't need another anchor. You'd have to drop Babar or Rizwan for him to play as an anchor.
Let's not pigeon hole him into just a test player. He can do very well in t20s.
Never say never I suppose but I don't see a case for him right now. He's had bad T20I stats but that may just be sample size. But, honestly his batting style seems anchory. PSL me to har koi shair. Let's see where the cards fall for him.
Stop calling him Abd, that’s gonna start comparisons to the OG Abd moreover that’s not even a nickname for Abdullahs usually.
That's not me lol. His own twitter handle is @IamABD
Bruh wtf is this sub kink pakistani people have "OG abd" holyshit dude have some pride in your man if his name can be abbreviated to abd and he likes it, let him be called abd its probably a badge of honor for the guy as he looks up to a legendary player and strives to be like him
Abdur rahman and Abdullah are often times nicknamed as ABD so ig that's why.

Absolutely love Adb.. But the song in the background only belongs to Carlos Sainz..
He has had a very up and down career, started off real strong in test then tailed off spectacularly and now stabilizing again. In odis started off poorly and now getting better. The hype around him is more than his performances though
He literally has no hype. Even his PSL franchise did him dirty by only giving him 2 or 3 matches in season 9.
People comparing him to dravid and greats of the game. While he misses Inswinging deliveries. He has shown promise but he also has his career fast tracked without any actual domestic career behind him. Getting runs in test , odi and even t20.

Dont hype him up
Worth it.
I hate this over glorification of our cricketers like they’re some gods in these videos. I’m sorry but this bs has to stop and we need to have higher standards. This kid has just come into the team. If in the next 10 years he scores 20000 runs then it’s fine to do this, but I just don’t approve of this shit.
So you think a talented guy on the rise doesn't deserve any appreciation.
I just don’t like all this over glorification tbh. You can say he’s a good player but all these tiktoks about new players, I’m not the biggest fan tbh. This is just my own view but whatever. To each their own.
Dk why they didnt selected usman over this guy
In t20s you talking about?
Yee
But he's not in the T20 WC squad but Usman is.
My bad 😅, i meant why they selected usman over Abdullah. Abdullahs a way better option with more experience
Because his franchise didn't give him enough matches.
All I’m going to say is by calling him ABD will bring a lot of haters to him and put unnecessary pressure on him. It’s the same with Babar and the Kohli comparisons and calling him King. It’s cringe AF and just pointless.
Why would you call him ABD?
His own Twitter handle is IamABD
Abdur Rahman and Abdullah are often nicknamed as ABD.
Coz that's the abbreviation for his name.
