‘We will have a new T20 WC winner in Afghanistan’

Afghanistan’s stunning 21-run victory against Australia in the ‘Super 8s’ match at Kingstown sent shockwaves through the cricketing community. However, Lalchand Rajput, the former coach of both India and Afghanistan, remained unsurprised by the outcome.Under Rajput’s guidance, Afghanistan achieved Test status in 2017, marking a significant milestone in their cricketing journey. Since then, the team has continued to progress, with former England batsman Jonathan Trott taking the reins and elevating the emerging Asian cricketing nation to new heights.
