In a recent interview on the sidelines of the International League T20, Afghanistan’s promising opener, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, shared his secret to cricketing success – seeking guidance from Indian cricket stalwarts Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.
Gurbaz, who plays for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League (IPL), disclosed, “I always talked to Virat and MS Dhoni about how to improve my cricket. I have a lot of things in my mind and I have to work on it.” The young cricketer emphasized his eagerness to learn and grow in his cricketing journey, seeking insights from two of the game’s modern legends.
A Tale of Resilience
The Afghanistan batter had a challenging start in the recent 3-match T20I series against India, managing only 37 runs in the first two innings. However, when faced with the task of chasing down a formidable target of 212 runs, Gurbaz showcased exceptional form, smashing a stellar fifty off just 32 balls. His remarkable partnership with Afghanistan skipper Ibrahim Zadran set the stage for a potential victory, underlining Gurbaz’s ability to rise to the occasion.
Reflecting on the intense competition and the ultimate defeat in a match that went to not one but two Super Overs, Gurbaz remarked, “It was a good learning for us. This kind of game can happen. We also enjoyed the game and learned a lot from it.” He acknowledged the confidence and insights gained from playing against cricketing giants like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Optimism for the Future
Expressing optimism for the future, Gurbaz expressed a desire for more series against India. He acknowledged areas of improvement for the Afghan team, stating, “We put our all in the World Cup and it was a hard-fought competition. There are some places we need to improve. I hope next time we will not make these kinds of mistakes.”
In a cricketing world driven by mentorship and shared experiences, Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s approach to learning from the best exemplifies a commitment to continuous improvement. As he navigates his career, guided by conversations with Kohli and Dhoni, Gurbaz emerges as a promising talent on the international cricket stage, eager to make a lasting impact.
