The career of Team India's star batsman Virat Kohli is full of great records. Virat has broken many records in his long career and is still doing so. He has also destroyed the records of great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Before him, Sachin was doing the same thing, who was creating new history by breaking old records. Now a young batsman from Afghanistan has left behind both these giants in one go. This batsman is Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored a brilliant century in the third ODI against Bangladesh and made the team win the match as well as the series.

Gurbaz's 8th century, Sachin-Kohli left behind

In the third and last match of the series played in Sharjah on Monday, 11 November, Afghanistan got the target of 245 runs from Bangladesh. In response to this, 22 year old young opener Gurbaz started explosive batting as soon as he came, during this the batsmen standing on the other side could not make much contribution and kept getting out but Gurbaz remained steadfast. Then in the 38th over, Gurbaz completed the 8th century of his ODI career by taking 1 run. Gurbaz completed his century in 117 balls. This is Gurbaz's third ODI century this year.

With this century he left behind two great Indian batsmen. Gurbaz became the second youngest batsman to score 8 ODI centuries. Gurbaz completed 8 ODI centuries in just 22 years 349 days. In this way he left behind Sachin (22 years 357 days) and Virat Kohli (23 years 27 days). Apart from him, Babar Azam (23 years 280 days) was also left behind. In this matter, only former South African batsman Quinton de Kock (22 years 312 days) is ahead of Gurbaz. At the age of 22, Gurbaz achieved this record in just 46 innings, which is a new world record.

Afghanistan won the series

On the basis of this inning, the foundation of Afghanistan's victory was laid and all-rounder Azmatullah Omarzai took it to victory. Omarzai had already made an impact in the match and did not allow Bangladesh to reach a big score by taking 4 wickets. After this, he showed his strength with the bat and by playing an unbeaten inning of 70 runs in 77 balls, the team won by 5 wickets in the 49th over. Apart from him, Mohammad Nabi also played an unbeaten inning of 34 runs.
