Rahmanullah Gurbaz Scores Fastest ODI Century for Afghanistan Against India
Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored a record-breaking 48-ball century against India in the first ODI at Dharamsala, marking the fastest ODI hundred by an Afghanistan batter and the second fastest against India. Despite early wickets reducing Afghanistan to 26 for 3, Gurbaz's aggressive innings of 102 runs off 51 balls helped Afghanistan reach 194 in a rain-shortened 25-over match. His knock featured eight fours and eight sixes, and he credited India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir for advice on shot selection. Afghanistan lost wickets rapidly after his dismissal, with debutants Harsh Dubey and Gurnoor Brar making notable impacts for India.
