Back in 2019, Hasnain had registered his name in the record books as the youngest player, 19, bowler to take a hat-trick in a T2OI match. The Hyderabad-born had achieved the feat in the match against Sri Lanka. In the same year, Hasnain once again grabbed the headlines due to his performances in the Pakistan Super League and Caribbean Premier League by bowling the fastest delivery records in both the leagues.
He bowled 151 km/h for the Quetta Gladiators and 155.1 km/h for Trinbago Knight Riders. English cricketer, Alex Hales said: “Thunderbolts! Love to see it! @MHasnainPak”
