Haider Ali (Urdu, Punjabi: حیدر علی; born 2 October 2000) is a Pakistani cricketer.[3][4]

He made his first-class debut in September 2019.[5] He made his international debut for the Pakistan cricket team on 1 September 2020.[6]

Due to his batting style, his compact defence technique, his off-side play and his pull shots, he has been compared to Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma.[1] He himself considers Sharma to be his role model.[7]
