Afghanistan’s WC success has a Gujarat script

The Afghanistan cricket team’s impressive performance in the World Cup 2023, defeating three world champions, can be attributed to two Gujaratis: mentor Ajay Jadeja and batting coach Milap Mewada. Amul, the dairy cooperative, serves as the team’s official sponsor. Jadeja, a former Indian cricketer, was appointed as the team’s mentor, while Mewada, a former first-class player, became the batting coach. Their expertise and guidance have played a crucial role in the team’s success. Amul’s association with Afghanistan cricket dates back to 1969, and they have been the team’s sponsor since 2019.
