Afghanistan cricket team’s batting stylish and swashbuckling Mohammad Shahzad is in the form of his life. Shahzad, who idolises India’s wicketkeeper batsman MS Dhoni, is the x-factor of Afghanistan cricket team.
Shahzad was the architect of Afghanistan’s victory in the Desert T20 challenge which was held in Dubai from January 14-20. During the tournament, Shahzad broke Virat Kohli’s record of scoring most number of fifties in an ICC tournament.
Virat Kohli scored 3 fifties in ICC World T20 2016, but Shahzad ended the tournament with 4 fifties to his name, breaking Kohli’s record of three. During the tournament, Shahazad also became the first batsman to score two half-centuries on the same day when he scored 80 against Oman in the semifinals in the afternoon on the same day as the finals.
