Rahmanullah Gurbaz etched his name in the history books as he continued the stunning start to his ODI career with the 8th ODI century during the 3rd ODI between Afghanistan and Bangladesh at the Sharjah Cricket Ground on Monday (November 11).

Chasing a total of 245 in the series decider, Gurbaz put Afghanistan on track to register a victory with a knock of 101 in 120 balls. After the early departures of Sediqullah Atal, Rahmat Shah, and Hasmatullah Shahidi, Gurbaz held fort and ensured the Afghans did not collapse.

Playing his 46th ODI, Gurbaz hit the 8th ODI century of his career and equalled a massive world record of Sachin Tendulkar and Quinton de Kock. The Afghanistan star now has the joint most centuries in history in ODI cricket before turning 23.
