Zulqanrain hyder

For those of you who are wondering about the title its the name of the new wicket keeper for pakistan who debuted in the ongoing 2nd test between england and pakistan. the reason why i am writing a blog with this guys name is because of the spirit shown by this guy. Most of the new breed of cricketers from the sub continent are having a lot of passion and comitted lot of sacrifices to reach the position in which they are in. But fate was even more harsh to Zulqanrain. He lost his mother at 13 to cancer and his father who supported his dream of becoming a cricketer is in a coma when hyder made his debut against england and hyder is fulfilling the dream of his mother whose wish was that at least one of her children travel abroad. So with lot of emotions hyder made his debut and although he was out first ball in his first test innings and was not spectacular behind the stumps he more tha made up for those disappointments when he got a chance to bat in 2nd innings. Having survived a king pair with the help of URDS he went to establish partnership of 52 with mohammad amer and 115 with saeed ajmal which helped pakistan avoid innings defeat and take a lead of 112. Tomorrow pakistan may lose but their supporters can take heart from the spirit shown by zulqanrain and the bowlers and if the whole team gets inspired by them it will be beneficial to Pakistan. What zulqanrain has shown is it is possible to live ones dream if one believes in it and is willing to fight for it. For his bravery and fighting spirit i wish Pakistan is going to win this test and he becomes the man of the match. I hope that the guy will have a long and successful career (except against India) with Pakistan cricket team.
