Probably one of the brightest upcoming talents in the country of Afghanistan right now, there’s a lot of talks that Rahmanullah Gurbaz is going to hit it big on the world stage. And quite honestly, we have no doubts about it. While most cricketers from his country don’t get enough of chances, he gets plenty, being signed to play in several franchise leagues across the world.
One such league he’s currently at is the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2021/22 where he’s been representing the Delhi Bulls. The coach, the management and the commentators have all been talking him up and in the last few days, he’s been showing us why there’s so much hype around him. Today, he smashed a record breaking 14-ball fifty against The Chennai Braves in the Abu Dhabi T10.

Chasing 81 to win, we knew it was always going to be an easy win for Bulls but Gurbaz made really light work of it, finishing the game in just the fifth over. While he played shots and got out in most games, it was three games ago that he hit 70 and brought up his first fifty of the season. Today, he smashed 57(16)* which was his second fifty and the fastest one in the tournament so far.
Just having completed 20 years of age a few days ago, the youngster from Afghanistan is surely making a name for himself and today’s knock included 5 fours and 6 sixes on a very big ground at Zayed Cricket Stadium in UAE. Batting with his new opening partner Chandrapaul Hemraj, Bulls completed a 10-wicket victory in just 4.1 overs.
It was a good day for new records at the 2021/22 Abu Dhabi T10 as earlier in the day, Wanindu Hasaranga of Deccan Gladiators broke the record for the best bowling figures in the history of the league, getting 5/8 and tearing apart his opponents.
