Why is Usman Khawaja the biggest topic in world cricket today?
Why did Australian captain and top cricketers post stories saying
\u201cThank you Usman\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A moment that touched everyone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell Starc\u2019s wife paid a powerful tribute.
She said
\u201cThe best thing about Uzzy is his sense of belonging.
He never felt shy about his faith.
I\u2019m proud of him like an elder brother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding himself changed everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Australia is a cricket powerhouse.Making space among eleven players is extremely hard.Usman kept performing, but fitting in was a struggle.He says\u201cI tried everything to blend in.Nothing worked.\u201dThen came Queensland.The turning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From replacement to record maker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One day, during the Ashes, he replaced Ricky Ponting.
From that day onward, he remained a key opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statistics tell the story
87 Test matches
6206 runs
Average 43.39
16 centuries
ICC Men\u2019s Test Cricketer of the Year 2023
But numbers were never the whole story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a cricketer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He even joked with journalists
\u201cNext year I\u2019ll play a lot of golf.
And you won\u2019t be able to say anything.\u201d
His real dream is bigger.
\u201cI don\u2019t want the next Usman to struggle like I did.
I hope they\u2019re treated the same way as every other cricketer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked how he wants to be remembered, he said
\u201cAs a good human.
A good father.
A good son.
And someone who inspired kids who feel alone.
If you can see it, you can believe it.
You can become whatever you want.
Just keep trying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
