Oman’s 43-year-old cricketer Aamir Kaleem got his name etched into the history books with a gritty half-century against India in the IND vs OMA Asia Cup 2025 match at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Friday, September 19. The left-hander became the oldest player to score a half-century against a full-member nation, attaining the landmark at the age of 43 and 303 days. With this, Aamir Kaleem surpassed one of T20 cricket’s greatest in Chris Gayle, who, at the age of 41 years and 294 days, had scripted this record with a half-century against Australia in 2021. Aamir Kaleem played a solid 64-run knock off 46 deliveries, which included seven fours and two sixes but his fighting performance wasn’t enough for Oman to defeat India, with the associate nation falling short by 21 runs.
