Afghanistan’s Ikram Ali Khil drew comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar
for a stunning knock against the West Indies but it is another
cricketing legend who the teenager idolizes.
Fittingly, Ikram broke Tendulkar’s record for the highest score by an 18-year-old at an ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at Headingley, where the Little Master once broke the mould as Yorkshire’s first overseas player in 1992
The wicket-keeper’s 86 off 92 deliveries against the West Indies saw him move ahead of Tendulkar’s best of 84 which came 27 years ago.
