After Mohammad Nabi son six hitting, Eisakhil said something to his father. But there were no smiles or jokes between them at that moment. Both were serious about the game. They played with full focus and respect for cricket.
It is not common to see such moments in international or domestic cricket. This story has touched many cricket fans around the world.

Notably, the Afghanistan based all rounder Mohammad Nabi had earlier planned to retire from ODIs after the recently concluded Champions Trophy 2025, but he later said he was “still thinking” about his future and may continue playing.
“These might not be my last ODIs, I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience,” Nabi told the ICC. “I’ve discussed with the senior players and in the high-level games, maybe or maybe not, we’ll see. It will depend on my fitness.”
Nabi, had also also expressed his dream of playing alongside his 18-year-old son, Hassan Eisakhil, who represented Afghanistan in the Under-19 World Cup in 2024. A dream which has now become reality for the Afghanistan legend.
“It’s my dream. Hopefully we can do it. He is doing very well … he is a hard worker and I’m also pushing him to do work,” said Nabi.
“I want him to make his own goals… you have to score 100-plus. He’s listening and pushing all the time,” he added.
