Zia ur rahman

Zia Ur Rahman: Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar believes that the team’s seven-wicket win over Afghanistan was about much more than the final result. While several players produced standout performances, the former India captain was most impressed by the team's willingness to put collective success ahead of individual achievements.

Pointing to the closing stages of the chase, Gavaskar highlighted KL Rahul's aggressive approach despite Shubman Gill being within touching distance of a century.

"Before that over from Zia Ur Rahman, he had bowled three overs for just 19 runs. Then KL Rahul took 20 runs off that over. Up until that point, Shubman Gill needed 21 runs to reach his hundred, with about 30 still needed for the team to win. But then Rahul took charge," Gavaskar told JioStar.
