The Power of Belief

When I made my debut for Islamabad United, I used the hashtag #ApnaTimeAgha. There was something about that day and this team that made me feel welcome—it gave me a sense of belonging.

From my season at United, I learned how to stay relaxed and never let bad patches get to my head. It’s a team that cultivates a culture of enjoyment. I felt that as long as I was enjoying my cricket, the results would come.

I know I won’t always succeed—cricket is a game where you have more downs than ups—but I now understand that it’s all part of the journey. You have to enjoy the success, stay relaxed, follow the process, and keep working hard.

Above all, at Islamabad United, I learned the power of belief. This team treats you like a superstar even before you become one.
