Afghanistan’s left-arm wrist spin Noor Ahmad shared his thoughts on some of the most talented cricketers he has ever seen in his career so far. He was recently asked who he believes stands out as the most talented player, and now his interesting choices have created a lot of buzz on social media.

The young spin sensation has been an integral part of the Gujarat Titans (GT) team in the Indian Premier League (LPL), and during his stints, he got several opportunities to face India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli, who represents Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the tournament.

Apart from the IPL, Noor also got the opportunity to bowl to the former Indian skipper in the ICC events and international cricket when Afghanistan and India faced each other. Well, the dashing right-hander is among the three exceptional talents he has ever seen.

Kohli has been celebrated for his prolific run-scoring and remarkable consistency across all formats. The Indian batting maestro’s aggressive style and relentless drive have set new standards in modern cricket. Kohli, who recently retired from T20I cricket, is considered the modern-era legend.

Apart from Kohli, who has over 26000 runs to his name in international cricket, Noor also picked his Afghanistan cricket team captain and spin master Rashid Khan as one of the most talented cricketers that he has ever seen.

Rashid, known for his enigmatic spin and game-changing abilities, has emerged as one of the premier bowlers in limited-overs cricket. The Afghanistan spinner’s sharp legbreaks and variations make him a formidable opponent, and his rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

Noor’s third and last pick is India’s new vice-captain in white-ball cricket and Gujarat Titans (GT) captain Shubman Gill, who is currently on a Sri Lanka tour. Noor picked the young Indian prodigy as his third and final player whom he considers the most talented cricketer he has ever seen on Major League Cricket (MLC) franchise Texas Super Kings’ (TSK) Instagram handle.

Well, Gill’s elegant stroke play and impressive performances at a young age have garnered widespread praise, including the Afghanistan wrist spinner. The right-handed Indian batter’s ability to dominate bowling attacks and his mature approach to batting has made him one of the most promising talents in international cricket.

Noor’s selection highlights how he admires Gill, Kohli, and Rashid for their extraordinary skills and impact on the game. Notably, Noor was recently seen in action in the ongoing MLC 2024, where he was in great form with the ball for the TSK. The Afghan star scalped nine wickets from four games in the league.

The CSK-owned franchise finished their season on the third spot in the MLC 2024 points table with eight from seven games. TSK lost two of their seven games and two matches were abandoned. They suffered a heartbreaking defeat of 10 runs in the Qualifier 2 to lose the final berth to the San Francisco Unicorns on July 27.

The MLC 2024 final will be played between the Washington Freedom and San Francisco Unicorns on July 29.
