A left-handed batsman and an experienced left-arm slow bowler, his methods are suited to the limited overs format. He had a fantastic run in the 2016 Pakistan Cup where he scored 297 runs in five matches, including two fifties and a century. Thus, he finished second in scoring behind Ahmed Shehzad. His 115 in the final helped his team Khyber Pakhtunkhwa win the title.
