A bulky figure, the wicketkeeper-batsman has been a mainstay in the Afghanistan batting giving them the blazing starts that have now formed a characteristic of Afghanistan batting. He has idolized MS Dhoni, and the fact became all the more evident when he played the famous helicopter shot to Zaheer Khan in the ICC World T20 2012 with Dhoni standing with a grin behind the stumps. He has played many fearless innings right from the early part of his career.
Shahzad became the first Afghanistan player to hit an ODI ton when he hammered 110 against Netherlands in 2009. In February 2010, Shahzad hit an unbeaten 214 in the InterContinental Cup against Canada to help his team chase down 494.
His aggressive style of batting has led to many occasions where he has thrown his wicket away, but when he clicks, Afghanistan are already one step closer to a victory. He has been a safe bet behind the stumps for the team. He has represented Afghanistan in all three World T20s they have played (2010, 2012 and 2014).
