Sakib Hussain is a right-arm seamer who made his T20 debut for Bihar in the 2022/23 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Only 17 years old then, he registered figures of 4 for 20 runs in two overs in his second game. Despite limited opportunities, Hussain has been pushing his case for bigger things and picked his maiden five-for in the 2025/26 edition of Ranji Trophy - 6/41 against Arunachal Pradesh. Hussain’s grind has been noticed by the IPL scouts. He was first signed by Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2024. Yet to make his debut in the league, Hussain will now join Sunrisers Hyderabad for TATA IPL 2026 at INR 30 Lakh.
