Although Afghanistan suffered a 1-wicket loss in the second ODI against Pakistan, the comeback they made after the humiliating defeat in the first match was truly commendable. After being bowled out for 59 runs in the first ODI against Pakistan, the Afghan team scored 300 runs on no board. Rahmanullah Gurbaz played an important role in leading the team to this score. Gurbaj played a blistering innings of 151 runs with the help of 14 fours and 3 sky sixes. Based on his innings, he also broke a record of Lord of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar.
This is the record of the player who has scored the most centuries under the age of 21. It was Gurbaz’s 5th century in the 50-over format, having played 23 ODIs for Afghanistan. At the age of 21, he has scored more centuries than Sachin with this. The master blaster started his career at the age of 16, but managed to score only 4 centuries by the age of 21. Let us tell you that South Africa’s explosive opener Quinton de Kock and Sri Lanka’s Upul Tharanga top the list with 6 centuries.

Gurbaz became the first Afghan player to score a century against Pakistan with this century. Along with this he also broke a big record of Dhoni. Before Gurbaaz, Dhoni held the record for the longest innings by a wicket-keeper batsman against Pakistan. In 2005, Mahi played a blistering innings of 148 runs against the Man in Green, but now Gurbaj has taken this record by playing an innings of 151 runs.
Gurbaz has also broken Babar Azam’s record of 5 centuries in 23 innings. The Pakistan captain took 25 innings to score his maiden five-hundred in ODIs, but has taken two innings less to overtake Gurbaz Babar. Quinton de Kock scored the fastest 5 centuries in ODI cricket in 19 innings.
