Ibrahim Zadran credits Sachin Tendulkar ahead of his phenomenal innings against Australia

Ibrahim Zadran became the first player from Afganistan to score a World cup hundred. Ibrahim Zadran smashed 129 runs against Australia on Tuesday at the Wankhede Cricket Stadium.

Observe him, pick up a few words, and we can learn from him. “Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan said.

“I had a good chat with Sachin Tendulkar yesterday. He shared lot of his experiences that I can’t express. I’m very thankful to him for sharing his experiences and giving me a lot of confidence”, said Zadran.

The 21 year olf further added that despite missing out on the chance to make a century against Pakistan, he had a hunch he would eventually reach that mark.
