IPL 2026 Sakib Hussain: Before the start of IPL 2026, the batting of Sunrisers Hyderabad is being continuously discussed. There are many explosive batsmen in this team, but do you know that this time Sunrisers Hyderabad has also given a chance to a bowler who can do wonders in IPL 2026. This player has proved his talent in the practice matches of Sunrisers Hyderabad. We are talking about fast bowler Saqib Hussain, who is a resident of Gopalganj, Bihar. This son of a farmer family is now ready to dominate the IPL, let us tell you why Saqib Hussain is such a dangerous player.
Shakib has this weapon of Bumrah
Saqib Hussain troubled batsmen like Ishan Kishan and Liam Livingston a lot with his excellent bowling in the practice match of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Saqib Hussain certainly has speed but the slower ball of this player is very dangerous. Shakib Hussain’s slower balls are difficult to predict, which is why Ishan Kishan and Livingston found it difficult to understand his ball in practice matches. Hussain is an expert in bowling slower bouncers and slower yorkers. This fast bowler from Bihar has played 12 T20 matches so far in which he has taken 10 wickets. He has also played Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy under the captaincy of Ishan Kishan.
Saqib Hussain’s struggle
Shakib Ali is only 21 years old and it is a big thing for him to reach IPL at such a young age. Saqib was born on 14 December 2004 in Gopalganj, Bihar. His father used to do farming and due to knee pain he had to leave farming due to which the financial condition of the family deteriorated. There was not even ration in Saqib’s house. Saqib used to play cricket but he did not have shoes. His mother even sold her jewelery to get shoes for her son. The family wanted Saqib Hussain to join the army but he chose cricket.
Saqib’s fast speed made him popular in Bihar. This player was bought by KKR in the year 2024 but he did not get a chance to debut. In IPL 2026, this player was bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad for Rs 30 lakh. Now Ishan Kishan is the captain of the team and Shakib’s bowling is also excellent, it is possible that this player may get a chance to debut this time.
