After the likes of Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee’ retirement, it is not often that we get to witness stumps being broken, with thoroughbred fast-bowlers a rare sight nowadays. But Shapoor Zadran reminded the world of his prowess after he broke Rubel Hossain's leg-stump in two against Bangladesh.

Afghanistan players seem to be having the time of their lives at the moment, be it with the national team or at the respective clubs they represent. The likes of spinners like Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman impressed everyone who seen the duo play for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab respectively during the recently concluded Indian Premier League. 

The Afghanistan team played the first of their three scheduled T20Is against Bangladesh at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Dehradun where they emerged victorious after winning the game by 45 runs. 

On a night when Afghanistan bowlers dominated, pacer Shapoor Zadran produced a stunner to dismiss Bangladesh player Rubel Hossain who looked to be settling in on the crease. The action perspired in the 18th over of the match when Bangladesh were struggling at 119/8 and things were only looking grim for them after 17.5 overs. Zadran’s beautifully pitched good length delivery totally missed the bat of Hossain and went on to destroy the leg-stump into two pieces, as he literally broke the wicket.

Zadran ended the night with figures of 3/40 to his name in the four overs that he bowled while Rashid was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh with figures of 3/13 to his name in the three overs that he bowled.

The Afghanistan team will head into the second match today full of confidence after the opening match win against Shakib Al Hasan & Co.
