Afghanistan’s cricketing fairytale continues! The underdog story that refuses to be called an upset anymore took another thrilling turn as they edged past England in a high-octane Champions Trophy clash. And when the legend himself, Sachin Tendulkar, takes notice, you know it’s something special.

Zadran’s Masterclass, Omarzai’s Heroics—Afghanistan Roars Again

On a pulsating Wednesday night in Lahore, Ibrahim Zadran carved his name into the history books with a breathtaking 177 off 146 balls. With the bat, he was poetry in motion, dismantling England’s bowling attack and leading Afghanistan to a commanding 325/7. But the drama didn’t end there.

England seemed on course for a chase, thanks to Joe Root’s 120, but then came the Azmatullah Omarzai storm. The pacer ripped through England’s batting lineup, bagging a sensational 5/58 and sealing an epic eight-run victory for his team.

Sachin Tendulkar: “Afghanistan’s Wins Are No Longer Upsets”

Watching the Afghan warriors stun the cricketing world once again, Sachin Tendulkar took to social media to shower them with praise:

“Afghanistan’s steady and consistent rise in international cricket has been inspiring! You can’t call these wins ‘upsets’ anymore—they’ve made it a habit. A superb century by @IZadran18 and a brilliant five-for by @AzmatOmarzay sealed another memorable win for Afghanistan. Well played!”

Zadran, still soaking in the moment, was left in awe:

“What an honor to be praised by the very man who inspired generations to pick up the bat. Thank you, sir.”
