Rahmat Shah's Record: Sixth in History, But Three Questions Before Placing Him Beside Kohli
প্রশ্ন:
Rahmat Shah scored 105* in the first innings and 51 in the second in his first Test as captain, becoming the sixth player in Test history to achieve this. Afghanistan, chasing 479 in Abu Dhabi, were 132/3 in 50 overs, needing 347 more with 7 wickets. The record is real, but the Kohli comparison needs context: Kohli scored two centuries on debut as captain, while Rahmat scored a century and a fifty, and his fifty came after a dropped catch. The realistic positive result for Afghanistan is not a win but a draw. Day 5 will be decided by the second new ball and lower-order resistance.
