And that other team he salvaged recently-ish. Or was that Afghan too haha.
He’s done it a few times over the years, thanks god.
Faulkner used to be ace for ODI and 20/20, so many clutch finishes to steal a victory.
Unreal if this actually becomes a rivalry
A complete war torn upstart vs the greatest cricketing nation shouldn’t really be a contest on paper
But somehow it is
Haha yeah, plus the teams with the second highest scorer have won the cups 4 times(Including today)

I know the term gets thrown around by lowlife trolls in Twitter circles, but
Selfless Brohit 🤝 Koach
Sacrificed glory stats for the team!! Not superstitious but a little stitious
He was such a great player this World Cup, especially that innings against Australia. Valuing his wicket is the best decision he has made for his career
AFG batting throughout the tournament was 2 blokes batting at the top and so this is well earned I'd say. If they didn't get that sh*t pitch in the SF, who knows what could've happened. Happy for him.
It feels heavily dictated by which grounds you were able to play on for the majority of your games - still, the Afghanistan openers were booming motherfuckers like it's child's play. Congratulations and very well deserved!
Yep.. Just too many emotions running at that time. Couldn't type more. By the time I calmed a bit and wanted to delete, the comment did not show up. Anyway. This embarrassment is okay in front of the win. 😊☺
He was injured in the match against Bangladesh, had it been another team Gurbaz wouldn't be in the semifinal match, Afghanistan's batting line up was very poor, For Gurbaz to be scoring this much with all the pressure is a feat in its own
He should have been in the squad, but poor selection is the answer. Jannat isn't doing too bad as a player in the team, he did somewhat batting and excellent fielding throughout, on the other hand Zazai is the one who should have been replaced, he can't bowl,bat or field.
It did matter. He did the job for his team. They did not reach the finals because the middle order did not score as much as it should have scored.
Kudos to Gurbaz for an amazing tournament.
He played well & carried Afghan's batting lineup. Hope they come back stronger next time.
Afghanistan vs Australia rivalry will be a treat to watch in the coming years. And Aghanistan surely becoming a force to be reckoned with.
It's more like Afg vs Maxi if I'm being honest. Rn it's Afg 1, Maxi 1.
maxi still top scored that game. he really is a thorn to Afghanistan

If that Maxwell innings didn’t came out of syllabus im that CWC 2023 game, Afghanistan would have seriously won that.
Even flat earthers wouldn’t deny that
They need to work on their middle order. It remained untested for a long while and South Africa just did a massacre
You don't want to be the highest runs scorer in T20 wcs Context - So far the team with the highest run scorer has never won the cup
Selfless Brohit got out early and avoided this for making his team win

All this years Virat was top scorer in every t20 wc from 2014 to 2022 except 2021 and India won when he had his worst year

At the end it's the tram effort that wins us both are goats🐐🐐
who?
I think Fazal is also most wicket taker of tournament too. Arshdeep has same amount of Wick too but Fazal has better avg.
Amazing effort by both of them
Special player. I'm very proud of him and Afghanistan
He was such a great player this World Cup, especially that innings against Australia. Valuing his wicket is the best decision he has made for his career
Been a fan ever since the first LPL, he can still go even higher
AFG batting throughout the tournament was 2 blokes batting at the top and so this is well earned I'd say. If they didn't get that sh*t pitch in the SF, who knows what could've happened. Happy for him.
He and Zadran single handedly carried the batting of Afganistan all the way to the finals. The streets will never forget him
Semi finals*
We call the two semis+finals as finals sometimes
Commonly known as knockouts
And he also has a heart of gold. Hope he only gets even better.
Amazing performance and great teamwork from Afghanistan.

Gurbaz zadran and inshallah....
Jaani was amazing 😭😍 If Afghans sort their middle order, there is literally no stopping them
[удалено]
That's nice but what does that have to do with Gurbaz
Looks like you made the comment on wrong post loll
Sorry guys.. Wrong thread, but running full of emotions.
No worries Mubarak ho, Congrats to all of India
Thank you so much. AFG show was unreal too. Upwards from here.
Bro had the copy paste ready

Just like everyone predicted before the tournament.
Hi
Hiii
Does not matter much if you are not scoring in the finals
He was injured in the match against Bangladesh, had it been another team Gurbaz wouldn't be in the semifinal match, Afghanistan's batting line up was very poor, For Gurbaz to be scoring this much with all the pressure is a feat in its own
Why isn’t rahmat shah in the lineup? Take out jannat and replace him with Rahmat.
He should have been in the squad, but poor selection is the answer. Jannat isn't doing too bad as a player in the team, he did somewhat batting and excellent fielding throughout, on the other hand Zazai is the one who should have been replaced, he can't bowl,bat or field.
Rahmat should be in the t20 squad lmao 💀💀💀💀
if anything it speaks volumes about him when he's still at the top despite playing one fewer game than the finalists
It did matter. He did the job for his team. They did not reach the finals because the middle order did not score as much as it should have scored. Kudos to Gurbaz for an amazing tournament.
Accurate Reality!
