Afghanistan’s Gurbaz Aims High Ahead of Clash with India

Afghanistan’s opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz isn’t just eyeing Jasprit Bumrah but is ready to take on all Indian bowlers in their Super 8s match at Kensington Oval, Barbados. Gurbaz, a standout performer with 167 runs in the tournament so far, expressed confidence in Afghanistan’s capabilities, highlighting their intent to win rather than merely participate.

Having secured a spot in the Super 8s with victories over Uganda, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, Afghanistan faces a tough challenge against India, Australia, and West Indies. Despite a recent defeat, Gurbaz remains undeterred, emphasizing a fearless approach against the Indian bowling attack.

While Afghanistan hasn’t defeated India in T20Is before, Gurbaz’s confident stance suggests a formidable contest ahead. Stay tuned as the action unfolds in this thrilling Super 8s clash.
