Burka Batter From Karachi Goes Viral on Social Media [Video]

While Fatima Sana and co. are making headlines in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier, another star is emerging on the streets of Karachi, as a young woman has gone viral with her batting skills.

Faiza Azam Khan spends her days at the office as a professional banker, but her true passion lies on the cricket pitch. On her day off, she showcased her batting skills at Frere Hall, sending balls flying for boundaries and sixes. The video quickly captured the internet’s attention, with many praising her talent and determination.

Faiza’s inclusive spirit has further endeared her to fans. “Any women who want to join us are welcome to come and play cricket with us,” she said, encouraging more women to take up the sport. Her dream is to represent Pakistan’s women’s team, ideally while wearing a hijab. “If I get the chance to play for Pakistan with hijab, that would be wonderful,” she shared.

Despite facing criticism when she first started playing, Faiza has received overwhelming support from her family and the public. Her younger brother expressed pride in her achievements, saying, “If she plays internationally, I’ll be very proud.” Her elder sister Nazia added, “The way Faiza plays is unmatched. I truly wish she gets selected for the women’s team.”

Faiza’s viral video is sparking conversations about breaking stereotypes and empowering women in sports. As Pakistan’s women’s team tops the World Cup Qualifier table, Faiza’s story is inspiring countless others—proving that one viral moment can ignite real change. Perhaps one day, Faiza will wear the Pakistan green on the world stage.
