Afghanistan celebrates their success in T20 World Cup

Afghanistan's journey to the ICC semifinals saw them defeat Australia in a rain-affected match, led by captain Rashid Khan's all-around brilliance. Celebrating the win, Rashid shared a photo with a Sholay song lyric, symbolising unity.

Delhi's mini Kabul rejoiced, anticipating Afghanistan's upcoming matches against Bangladesh in Greater Noida. Haseebullah Siddiqi praised opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz's impact, crediting him for the team's success.

Assistant coach Raees Ahmadzai attributed Afghanistan's rise to the Indian Premier League (IPL), highlighting how exposure in the IPL boosted players' confidence and removed intimidation from big names.

Eight Afghan cricketers, including Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, play in the IPL, inspiring young talents across Afghanistan to dream big and join local academies.

The success story underscores Afghanistan's hard work and skill, earning their place among the top teams globally, resonating with hope and pride across the nation.
