Mohammad Hussain Talat (হুসাইন তালাত) is a Pakistani cricketer. He made his international debut for the Pakistan cricket team in April 2018. Domestically, he plays for Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Raised in Shahdara, Lahore, Hussain Talat came from a cricket-oriented family that ran a local sports shop, Ravi Cricket Club. Informal street cricket provided the first exposure, with nearby success stories, most notably allrounder Abdul Razzaq, a former neighbour, serving as inspiration. At 15, he managed the family’s second outlet, New Lion Sports, located near the Abdul Razzaq Stadium, while training at Minto Park with Victorious Cricket Club. After leaving regular schooling in the seventh standard, Talat enrolled at Muslim Model School, which allowed sitting final exams while prioritising cricket practice. Daily routines typically involved morning and late-afternoon sessions separated by shop duties extending into the evening. Talat has described modest beginnings in a lower-middle-class setting, including seasonal sales of bangles, firecrackers and kite thread during Eid to supplement income.

Talat made his first-class debut with Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited during the 2012-2013 season, and in July 2013 a winnnig batting partnership with the then 18 years old Babar Azam was noted, when he was himself 17 years old.

In 2017, he made his PSL debut again Quetta Gladiators in which he scored a valuable fifty for his team and helped Islamabad United to win the game by 1 run. In April 2018, he was named in Federal Areas' squad for the 2018 Pakistan Cup. He was named the man of the match in the final of the tournament. On 3 June 2018, he was selected to play for the Toronto Nationals in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament.

In September 2019, he was named in Balochistan's squad for the 2019–20 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy tournament. In August 2020, he was named in Southern Punjab's squad for the 2020–21 domestic season. In October 2020, in the 2020–21 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Talat scored his maiden double century (253) in first-class cricket.

In March 2018, he was named in Pakistan's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their series against the West Indies. He made his T20I debut for Pakistan against the West Indies on 1 April 2018 where he was named the man of the match.

In August 2018, he was one of thirty-three players to be awarded a central contract for the 2018–19 season by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In December 2018, he was named in Pakistan's team for the 2018 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup. The following month, he was named in Pakistan's One Day International (ODI) squad for their series against South Africa. He made his ODI debut for Pakistan against South Africa on 22 January 2019. In November 2020, he was named in Pakistan's 35-man squad for their tour to New Zealand.

Talat is a batting all-rounder, being primarily a left-handed batsman who bowls medium-fast. His batting has been described as defined less by volume than by elegance, an analyst arguing that his wide stroke range reflects innate talent more than drilled adjustments.

In an interview, Talat told that his batting development was shaped by high-scoring matches on Lahore's cement tracks, small grounds and a local culture of aggressive play. That environment encouraged power-hitting over defensive accumulation, gradually shifting Talat’s approach from conservatism toward expansive strokeplay and "big-hitting" fundamentals.
