Despite not advancing to the knockout stage of the 2023 World Cup, Afghanistan’s cricket team left a lasting impression with their exceptional performance in the tournament. Their journey was marked by four victories in nine matches. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given that the team was once considered a minor player in the world of cricket.
Off the field, a video of Afghanistan cricketer Rahmanullah Gurbaz has gone viral and for the sweetest reasons. The cricketer was seen discreetly distributing money to the less fortunate on the streets of Ahmedabad during Diwali. The footage shows him quietly leaving money next to individuals sleeping on the streets before departing in a car.
