Ibrahim’s century was special citing the fact that he made a comeback after a long injury haul. The young batter was sidelined since Afghanistan’s semi-final against South Africa in the T20 World Cup, after an ankle injury.
“There’s nothing I want more than to return to the field, represent my beloved country, and deliver performances that make you all proud,” Ibrahim wrote in a social media post.
“Your love and support mean everything to me, and it’s what keeps me motivated through every challenge. I’ll be back stronger, In sha Allah,” Ibrahim added.
