Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Incidents of fans breaking the security cordon to meet or hug players on cricket grounds are common, but a unique and interesting case has come to light from Afghanistan. Here, during a match of Shpageeza Cricket League, a mad fan entered inside the ground. He neither hugged any player nor asked for an autograph, rather he blew the cap of Afghanistan’s star wicketkeeper-batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz off his head and ran away. The video of this incident is going viral on social media.
Fan stole Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s cap
This interesting incident happened during the T20 match played between Band-e-Amir Dragons and Mis Ainak Knights. Miss Ainak Knights captain Rahmanullah Gurbaz was fielding in the first innings at that time. Then a fan from the stands suddenly crossed the boundary and reached the middle of the field, throwing dust in the eyes of the security personnel. Before Gurbaz or the other players present there could understand anything, that person quickly snatched Gurbaz’s cap from his head and ran back towards the boundary at the speed of the wind.

Seeing this action, the players and umpires present on the field could not stop laughing. The fans present in the stadium also started laughing after seeing this scene. The video of this funny incident is becoming increasingly viral on social media. People are calling it ‘Fan on a Mission’. However, this incident has also raised questions on the safety of the players.
Gurbaz’s team registered a one-sided victory
Miss Ainak Knights, the team captained by Rahmanullah Gurbaz, completely dominated the match. After winning the toss, Gurbaz decided to bowl first, which proved to be absolutely right. In front of the lethal bowling of Mujeeb Ur Rehman and Ziaur Rehman, the team of Band-e-Amir Dragons, captained by Hashmatullah Shahidi, collapsed for just 114 runs. After this, Miss Ainak Knights, chasing the easy target of 115 runs, won the match unilaterally by losing 2 wickets in just 9.4 overs. In this resounding victory of the team, captain Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Khalid Taniwal played brilliant half-century innings.
