Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was recently seen engaging with the Afghanistan cricket team ahead of their highly anticipated World Cup match against Australia.
The Afghanistan squad has been diligently preparing in Mumbai for their clash against the former World Cup champions. Tendulkar was spotted conversing with Afghanistan’s coach Jonathan Trott, alongside players like Rashid Khan, Najibullah Zadran, and other team staff members.
Expressing his admiration for Afghanistan’s stellar performance in the World Cup, Tendulkar lauded their exemplary discipline with the bat, their impressive temperament, and their aggressive running between the wickets. He acknowledged their hard work and attributed their success, in part, to the influence of former India teammate Ajay Jadeja.
Tendulkar highlighted Afghanistan’s victories over formidable teams like England and Pakistan, emphasizing the emergence of a new and competitive Afghanistan cricket team that has captured the attention of the cricketing world. Afghanistan is gearing up for a crucial World Cup encounter against Australia, scheduled to take place at the iconic Wankhede Stadium on November 7 (Tuesday).
