Born in 1919, Ibrahim emerged as a leading batsman in Bombay cricket during the years surrounding India's independence. He was a regular in the Bombay Pentangular, where he represented the Muslims side, and was part of a generation of batsmen who built their reputations in the Ranji Trophy in the 1940s.
Ibrahim was known for his consistency in the Ranji Trophy, where he played for Bombay. He was particularly noted for a sequence of high scores in the 1947–48 domestic season, in which he produced multiple consecutive centuries in first-class cricket, a feat that drew wider attention to his batting.
Ibrahim made his Test debut for India in the home series against the West Indies in 1948–49, the first Test series played by India after independence. He played four Tests in that series, which was led on the Indian side by Lala Amarnath. After the series, he did not play further Test cricket.
Ibrahim is remembered as one of the leading domestic batsmen of his era and as part of the early post-independence Indian Test side. His prolific run-scoring in Ranji Trophy cricket of the late 1940s is often cited in records of high-scoring sequences in Indian first-class cricket.
