8 Feet 2-Inch Afghanistan Fan Fails To Get Accommodation In Lucknow

The ODI series between Afghanistan and the West Indies hasn’t attracted many fans with neither of them being the local team. However, a fan of the Afghanistan team has grabbed all the eyes of the local people for his height. An 8 feet 2-inchAfghanistan fan named Sher Khan travelled from Afghanistan to witness the match between Afghanistan and West Indies but unfortunately, faced troubles.

Sher Khan, an 8 feet 2-inch tall cricket fan from Kabul, Afghanistan, had to struggle for almost three days to get accommodation in Lucknow. He is running from one hotel to the other as he was denied a roof above his head because of his height and appearance.

Naka Station Policemen help 8 feet 2-inch Afghanistan fan:

The 8 feet 2-inch personality has found it hard to get the roof over his head, as all the hotels in the state feared to give him a room to stay. However, finally, the policemen of Lucknow has verified all his credentials and helped him to get the hotel to stay.

Due to political reasons, Afghanistan play all their international home fixtures in India. The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun served as Afghanistan cricket’s home from 2018 to 2019.

Coming to the match, the Afghanistan team, which was led by Rashid Khan will enter the game as hosts while West Indies will be playing their first ODI under the new skipper Kieron Pollard. On Thursday, Kieron Pollard has won the toss and elected to field first on a tough surface.

Justifying the toss, the bowlers gave a quick breakthrough by sending both the openers back to the hut for a cheap score. However, Rahmat Shah and Ikram Ali Khan have added 111-run partnership for the third wicket in order to stabilise the innings.

Just when things looked solid for Afghanistan the run of Khan and the wicket of Rahmat Shah completely changed the complexion of the game. Following the dismissals, none of their batsmen stayed in the crease, as they were bundled out for 194 runs.
