The upcoming domestic season will see him play for Pakistan Television. Additionally, he plans to transition into red-ball cricket and will represent JDW Sugar Mills in the President’s Trophy Grade-II.

Minhas gained recognition as one of the brightest young stars in Pakistan cricket. He was the leading run-scorer in the Under-19 Asia Cup, amassing 471 runs. His standout performance included a match-winning score of 172 runs against India in the final.

Key statistics from PSL 2026:

• 343 runs scored in total
• Average: 42.87
• Strike rate: 155.90
• Three half-centuries achieved

Minhas also holds the record for the fastest century in youth ODIs, reaching 100 runs in just 42 balls against Zimbabwe. His auction price of Rs. 19 million was the highest for an uncapped Under-23 player in PSL history.

Before his debut, he recovered from a facial injury. This setback came shortly before he was set to play. DC skipper Axar Patel confirmed Parakh’s inclusion in the playing XI at the toss.

Parakh replaced Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka in the lineup. He faced two balls in his debut match but was clean bowled for a two-ball duck. Despite this, his participation marks a significant step in his young career.

Parakh previously represented India at the Under-19 level in 2024. He scored an unbeaten century of 109 runs off 75 balls against Australia during that time. His performance showcased his potential and skill.

In domestic cricket, he played two T20 matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring a total of 24 runs with a highest score of 18. He is known for being a left-handed batter and also bowls leg-spin.

Unfortunately for Delhi Capitals, they lost the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The defeat raised questions about team strategy and player performance.

Yet, observers remain optimistic about Parakh’s future. His early experiences could provide valuable lessons as he continues to develop as a player.

As for what lies ahead, more opportunities may come for him in the tournament. The team will look to bounce back in their next matches as they aim for better results.
