Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran of Afghanistan created history by becoming only the second pair to achieve three 100-run partnerships in T20 World Cups, surpassing even the prolific Pakistani duo of Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan. Their feat, achieved in the Super 8 clash against Australia, makes them the second most prolific opening pair in T20 World Cup history.
Afghanistan cricketer Rahmanullah Gurbaz made the difficult decision to leave his ailing mother in the hospital to join the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the IPL playoffs. Gurbaz had been called up by KKR after Phil Salt left for national duties. Despite his mother’s illness, Gurbaz felt obligated to join his “other family” and contribute to KKR’s playoff run. In his first match back, Gurbaz made a significant contribution with a 23-run knock off just 14 balls against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
