WATCH: Afghanistan player Mohammad Nabi slammed for a six by son Hassan Eisakhil
In a rare father vs son encounter in cricket, veteran Afghanistan player Mohammad Nabi was welcomed in by his son Hassan Eisakhil with a six in the Mis-e-Ainak Knights vs Amo Sharks match of the Etisalat Shpageeza Cricket League. Ultimately though, Nabi's Knights prevailed over his son's team The Sharks by 5 wickets. Batting first, the Sharks posted 162 runs on the back of a half century by Eisakhil while Naveed Zadran, Khalil Gurbaz and Mujeeb Ur Rahman conjured magic with the ball with terrific spells. However, Khalid Taniwal (56) and Wafiullah Tarakhil's (49) fireworks powered the Knights to a comfortable win. Last year, Nabi had announced that he will retire from the 50-over format after the 2025 Champions Trophy but had taken a U-turn later, saying he wanted to play with his son. ' — Xtra (@123of143) July 22, 2025 'I'm still thinking (about the future). These might not be my last ODIs, I will probably play less ODIs and give chances to the youngsters to build experience. 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,' he had told ICC earlier this year. 'It's my dream (to play for Afghanistan together). Hopefully we can do it. He is doing very well. In the last two games he scored a hundred and 95. He is a hard worker and I'm also pushing him to do work. I want him to make his own goals, if you want to get to be a high-level cricketer, you have to work hard. It's not enough to make 50 or 60, you have to score 100+. He's listening and pushing all the time. When he can talk to me, I try to give him advice to give him confidence for the game,' he had said about his son. Nabi has played for Afghanistan in 173 ODIs, 132 T20Is and 3 Tests. He has 3667 runs and 2237 runs in ODIs and T20Is respectively while also notching up 176 wickets and 97 wickets in the 50-over format and the 20-over format respectively.

'What manners! That is your dad...': Afghanistan cricketer Mohammad Nabi's son shows no mercy to his father
Mohammad Nabi, the long-serving servant of Afghanistan cricket, continues to be strong, and he is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon despite being 40 years old. He has played more than 400 T20 games across all competitions, representing over 40 different teams across the globe. Nabi continues to play domestic cricket, and he is currently squaring off against upcoming Afghanistan cricketers in the Shpageeza Cricket League. Going up against his father Mohammad Nabi, Hassan Eisakhil showed no mercy(AFP) Mohammad Nabi last played on Tuesday for MIS Ainak Region against Amo Region at the Kabul International Stadium. The all-rounder's team might have won the contest after chasing down the target of 163 with five wickets in hand and 18 balls to spare. However, the match provided a true spectacle as Nabi went toe-to-toe with his own son Hassan Eisakhil, who turned 18 last month. The youngster showed no mercy to his father when he was introduced into the bowling attack as he welcomed him in some style. Nabi was introduced into the attack in the 9th over, and he ended up giving away 12 runs. However, the highlight came on the very first delivery as Eisakhil, a top-order batter, launched a gigantic six off his father's bowling. 'What manners! He is your dad bowling at you, man, first ball and he dispatches it for a six,' said the commentator on air. 'This is cricket. You might be my father out of the field. I have a lot of respect for you, but if you offer me something like that, I am going to dispatch it,' he added further. In the match, Eisakhil scored 52 runs, which was the main reason his team posted more than 160 runs on the board. Nabibowled one over, conceding 12 runs. With the bat in hand, the senior all-rounder remained unbeaten on 6 as his team registered an easy victory. Reactions to the clip The clip is now going insanely viral on social media, and there are several reactions to the same. 'On the field, it is just a game,' commented one user. While another commented, 'I like this nepotism.' 'How are they playing in the same match? This is crazy,' commented another user. Mohammad Nabi was part of the Afghanistan team that reached the semi-final of the T20 World Cup in 2024. He has represented the team in three Tests, 173 ODIs, and 132 T20Is. He also represented Karachi Kings in the 2025 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Last year, he had played for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
