ENG vs AFG: Watch - Rahmanullah Gurbaz Absolutely Angry After Getting Run-Out vs England

Afghanistan batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz looked in great touch in the ongoing game against England in the ICC World Cup 2023. But a poor call from his captain saw him getting run out in match 13 of the tournament at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz took Afghanistan off the flier as he batted magnificently well and played some crisp shots. The batter put England bowlers under great pressure as he smashed them all over the park and looked set for a big knock, with the way he was timing the ball. 

But to his poor luck, he was run out. It happened during the 19th over when Adil Rashid bowled a flighted delivery on off stump. Hashmatullah Shahidi went for a drive but he got it off the inner half of the bat towards short mid-wicket. 

As soon as he hit the shot, he ran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz responded to his captain’s call. The fielder ran in quickly and quickly threw the ball to Jos Buttler. The Afghanistan batter put in the dive but was well short of his crease as the England captain removed stumps in a flash. 

Rahmanullah Gurbaz was fuming in after he got out. He was livid with his captain and kept murmuring something. As he reached near the boundary ropes he yelled in frustration and also hit his bat in anger at to object present on the side.

ENG vs AFG: England take quick Afghanistani wickets after dismissing Rahmanullah Gurbaz 

With the wicket of Gurbaz, England put serious pressure on the Afghanistan batters. Adil Rashid drew the first blood for his team as he removed Ibrahim Zadran (28) and after that wickets fell like a pack of cards. 

Rahmat Shah perished to Adil Rashid as well as the batter was stumped for 3 runs and in the same over Rahmanullah Gurbaz fell too. If this was not enough, Liam Livingstone chipped in as well. The all-rounder removed Azmatullah Omarzai for 19 to reduce Afghanistan to 152/4.
