Salman Ali Agha Stats — Pakistan’s Rising Middle-Order Star
Nine years in domestic cricket. Hundreds of unremarkable runs in the middle order. No one clamoured for Salman Ali Agha — also known as Agha Salman. When Pakistan needed a lower-order batter for their 2022 tour of Sri Lanka. But when he walked out at No. 6 in Galle and scored a composed 28 in difficult conditions, something became clear: this was a player who simply did not let the stage affect him.
Since that debut, Salman Ali Agha has grown into one of Pakistan’s most dependable match-winners across all three formats. His off-spin is a genuine weapon , not a token sixth-bowling option. And his batting in high-pressure ODI chases has produced some of the most memorable innings in recent Pakistan cricket. Most cricket fans remember his 134 against South Africa in February 2025, when he and Mohammad Rizwan added 260 runs to pull off one of Pakistan’s greatest ODI chases. Less talked about but equally impressive: across 50+ ODI innings, he has never once been dismissed for a duck. A record that places him among the most consistent middle-order batters in the history of the format.
As
Pakistan’s 🇵🇰 T20I captain, he led the side to a historic 3–0 whitewash over Australia in January 2026. Scoring 120 runs himself at a strike rate of 171. That series showed a player fully in control of both his game and his team. Follow all
