Afghanistan has established themselves as a competitive cricket team and with the emergence of young cricketers like Sediqullah Atal, it is expected that Afghanistan will become a team to reckon with in the future.
Sediqullah Atal has made his name written in the history book as he smashed 7 sixes in an over and scored 48 runs in an over. It happened during a match of Kabul Cricket League which was played between Shaheen Hunters and Abasin Defenders at the Ayobi Cricket Stadium.
Sediqullah Atal achieved this unique feat in the over of Amir Zazai and many feel that this innings will open the doors for international cricket leagues for the 21 yrs old Afghani cricketer.
Here is a video clip which was posted by a Twitter handle in which you can see a glimpse of prolific batting of Atal. The Twitter handle also gave reference to Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad as it wrote in the caption, “48 runs from 1 over. @Sediq_Atal26 is now in the cricketing history books. Equalled Rituraj Gaikwad’s 7 sixes in an over. Poor Amir Zazai, almost escaped a heartache. This must open the doors of international cricket & leagues for Atal. #FutureStar #WorldRecord #SevenSixes”
Sediqullah Atal went on to score 118 runs for which he faced 56 deliveries and helped his team in scoring 213 runs in their stipulated 20 overs. With the help of this superb knock of Atal, Shaheen Hunters registered a 92-run victory over Abasin Defenders.
