WATCH- Afghanistan’s Rahmanullah Gurbaz Embraces Diwali Spirit with Touching Gesture
As we stand at the precipice of the knockout stages of the thrilling ODI World Cup, only one group-stage match remains to be played before the tournament enters its most intense phase. The past 40 days have been a whirlwind of cricketing excellence, with fans witnessing a spectacular display of extraordinary talent and high-quality matches.
One of the most captivating narratives of this World Cup has been the remarkable rise of Afghanistan. Prior to the tournament, expectations for the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led team were understandably low, having won just one match in their previous two World Cup campaigns combined. However, defying all odds, Afghanistan flourished in conditions that seemed to favour their style of play, securing an impressive four victories in this edition.
They emerged victorious against England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands, and they were on track to vanquish Australia until Glenn Maxwell shattered their dreams with his remarkable performance. Afghanistan’s spirited performances at the World Cup have earned them widespread acclaim and admiration from fans and pundits alike. The team has emerged as a formidable force, outperforming cricketing giants like England, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan and they will only get better with time and experience.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz wins hearts
In a heartwarming video circulating online, Afghanistan’s 21-year-old opening batsman, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, is captured distributing money to some people sleeping on the streets of Ahmedabad. Gurbaz simply leaves the money next to the people who are fast asleep, without their knowledge. Gurbaz’s act of kindness must have surely brought immense happiness to the people when they woke up, especially because it is Diwali today. Gurbaz’s act of kindness has garnered immense praise and admiration from fans and fellow cricketers alike, highlighting the spirit of generosity and compassion that transcends the boundaries of the sport.

Gurbaz had a promising World Cup, scoring 280 runs with the help of two half-centuries. At just 21 years old, he is still very young and will benefit greatly from the experience and will definitely play a major role in Afghanistan in the years to come.
