He is the first male international cricketer who is born in the 21st century. The young spinner holds the record of being the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul in ODIs. Born on 28 March 2001, Zadran took Afghanistan to their maiden U-19 Asia Cup victory.

Looking at his decent performance in Bangladesh Premier League, the IPL franchises also showed interest in the young lad as he fetched a hefty pay-check of Rs. 4 crores from the franchise KXIP.

On 8th April 2018, in the second match of IPL 11, Zadran made his IPL debut for KXIP at the age of 17 years 11 days and became the youngest player to ever play in the tournament's history.
