Rahmanullah Gurbaz Makes History for Afghanistan
Rahmanullah Gurbaz created history. Gurbaz became the first batsman from Afghanistan to enter the top 10 in ICC ODI batting rankings. Gurbaz performed brilliantly in the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa, for which he was rewarded. Gurbaz has reached the eighth position in the latest ODI batting rankings.
Afghanistan also created history as it played a bilateral ODI series against South Africa for the first time and won it 2-1. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz played a big role in Afghanistan’s success. Apart from this, Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqui showed their magic with the ball.
By the way, Rahmanullah Gurbaz had a very poor start in the first ODI against South Africa. He was out in the first match without opening his account. After this, he made a strong comeback and played a blistering innings of 105 runs in 110 balls. Gurbaz thrashed the Proteas bowlers and laid the foundation for Afghanistan’s victory with his aggressive batting. After this, the young right-handed opener also played an effective innings in the third ODI and scored 89 runs in 94 balls. Gurbaz showed that he can shine even under pressure.
Indian Players Dominate ICC ODI Rankings
If you look at the ICC ODI batting rankings, you will find that Pakistan’s star batsman Babar Azam occupies the top position. After this, the next three positions are ruled by Indian players. Indian captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli occupy the second, third, and fourth positions respectively. Ireland’s Harry Tector completes the top-5 list
Gurbaz’s inclusion in the top 10 is a testament to his growing stature in international cricket. Afghanistan cricket continues to rise, with players like Gurbaz making a mark on the world stage.
