When Cricket Becomes Family: Mohammad Nabi’s Son Hits Him for Six in Pro Match

It’s not every day you see a father and son face off in a professional cricket match — and even rarer when the son hits his legendary father for six on the very first ball.

That’s exactly what happened in Kabul during the Shpageeza Cricket League 2025.

Father vs Son: A Special Face-Off

Afghanistan’s senior all-rounder Mohammad Nabi was turning out for Mis Ainak Knights.

On the other side? His 18-year-old son, Hassan Eisakhil, is batting for the Amo Sharks.

In a surreal cricket moment, Nabi came on to bowl, and his son faced up to him for the very first time in a pro-level match.

First Ball – Out of the Park!

The first ball was all it took.

Hassan stepped forward and smashed his father over mid-wicket for six. No hesitation. No nerves. Just pure confidence.

Fans at the ground went wild — and so did social media. Clips of the six quickly went viral, with fans calling it one of the most heartwarming and “full circle” moments in cricket.

Not Just One Shot — A Solid Knock

This wasn’t a lucky shot. Hassan went on to score a mature 52 runs off 36 balls, showing excellent timing and temperament.

Nabi, meanwhile, bowled just one over, conceding 12 runs. Whether that was a tactical call or a proud dad decision, no one knows — but he didn’t bowl again.

More Than Just Stats

Beyond the scoreboard, this moment touched hearts. No fake celebrations. No over-the-top reactions. Just two cricketers — who happen to be father and son — doing what they love.

Fans praised both Nabi for his grace and Hassan for his composure. One popular tweet read:

“The moment you become your dad’s rival — and win the first round.”

A New Cricketing Legacy?

Mohammad Nabi has been one of Afghanistan’s greatest ambassadors in cricket. Now, his son may be the next in line.

With this confident debut knock, Hassan Eisakhil has shown he’s not just riding on a famous surname. He’s here to write his own story.

And if this match was anything to go by, it’s going to be an exciting one.
