Usman Tariq is a Pakistani mystery spinner known for his unique action and breakthrough performances, especially in T20 leagues, debuting internationally in late 2025 after being inspired by an M.S. Dhoni biopic to leave a UAE job and pursue cricket, making his mark with a hat-trick and significant wickets in the CPL. He plays for teams like Quetta Gladiators (PSL), Deccan Gladiators (T10), and Pakistan, often under scrutiny for his action but cleared after testing, aiming to be Pakistan's key spinner like Rashid Khan for Afghanistan.
