Afghanistan opener Ibrahim Zadran broke ICC Champions Trophy’s all-time record for the highest individual score when right hander slammed a majestic 177 against England in a crucial Group B fixture at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Wednesday.
Playing his first tournament after an injury layoff, Ibrahim Zadran couldn’t score much in Afghanistan’s opener against South Africa. But the 23-year-old made sure that he grabbed the chance against England with both hands as the right-hander just toyed with a hapless England bowling attack.
In the process, Ibrahim Zadran surpassed England’s Ben Duckett who had scored 165 against Australia earlier in the tournament. In fact, Ibrahim Zadran also became Afghanistan’s first-ever centurion in Champions Trophy history.
