Pakistan- Haider Ali, Pakistan’s courageous adventure-seeker

Growing up in Pakistan Punjab’s Attock, Haider Ali their new T20 batting hope dreams of being a Nezabaz. The sport celebrated the daredevilry of men dangling dangerously on one side of speeding horses to scoop wooden pegs planted on loose soil with their sparkling lances, goes by the sing-song Urdu name- Nezabazi. A city related to the ancient battles, Attock is the spiritual home of equestrians’ adventurous off-shoot.

Pakistan’s most famous nazabaz was the local Nawab, the late Malik Ata MOHAMMAD Khan. He was the founding member of the international tent-pegging federation. YouTube takes one to Pakistan's countryside where tent-pegging events have a dangal-like frenzy. Poets moonlight as announcers, sitting under shamiyanas. They sing peans of the many nezabaz trotting around regally. The man on the microphone tells about jazbaa and dileri.
