    Afghanistan’s cricket team has found a new bowling sensation in 18-year-old Allah Ghazanfar, who created waves with an impressive 6-wicket haul against Bangladesh in the first ODI of the series. Ghazanfar’s outstanding performance saw him shatter a record held by Afghanistan’s star bowler, Rashid Khan, becoming the youngest Afghan player to take six wickets in an ODI.

    Ghazanfar’s Spectacular Spell in Sharjah

    In the ODI held at Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Ghazanfar’s bowling spell left Bangladesh reeling. His 6 wickets for just 26 runs played a crucial role in restricting Bangladesh to a total of 143 runs while chasing Afghanistan’s 236. In a game-turning over, Ghazanfar captured three wickets in rapid succession, turning the match firmly in Afghanistan’s favor and helping secure a solid victory.

    Breaking Rashid Khan’s Record

    By taking six wickets at the age of 18 years and 231 days, Ghazanfar has surpassed Rashid Khan, who previously held the record for Afghanistan’s youngest bowler to achieve this feat. Rashid’s record, set at the age of 18 years and 262 days against the West Indies, had been an iconic moment for Afghan cricket. Ghazanfar’s historic spell now places him third in the global rankings of youngest bowlers to take six wickets in an ODI. The list is led by Pakistan’s Waqar Younis, who achieved it at just 18 years and 164 days.

    Who is Allah Ghazanfar?

    Allah Ghazanfar’s cricketing journey has been remarkable. Originally starting as a fast bowler, Ghazanfar’s potential as a spinner was spotted and developed by former Afghan captain Daulat Ahmadzai, who helped him become a mystery spinner. His bowling skills were evident early on, especially during the 2024 Under-19 World Cup, where he claimed eight wickets across four matches, attracting the attention of selectors and fans alike.

    Ghazanfar made his ODI debut for Afghanistan at the age of 16 in March 2024 against Ireland. His talent continued to shine in the Emerging Asia Cup, where he played a pivotal role in Afghanistan’s victory, taking two wickets in the final against Sri Lanka A and earning the Man of the Match award.

    Ghazanfar’s Stint with Kolkata Knight Riders

    In addition to his achievements in international cricket, Ghazanfar has been part of the IPL’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), joining the squad in 2024 as a replacement for Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Although he didn’t get to play in the season, his inclusion marked him as one of the young talents to watch. Since his debut, Ghazanfar has played six ODIs, securing ten wickets and contributing significantly to Afghanistan’s first ODI series win against South Africa.

    A Rising Star for Afghanistan Cricket

    Allah Ghazanfar’s rise as a bowler brings renewed excitement to Afghanistan cricket, which has already produced celebrated talents like Rashid Khan. His recent record-breaking spell hints at a promising future for the young spinner, who is already earning praise for his match-winning performances and ability to handle high-pressure situations. With more international exposure, Ghazanfar could be set to become a key player in Afghanistan’s bowling lineup for years to come.
