Zazai puts on a show for his idol

– Hazratullah Zazai smashed a blistering half-century off just 12 balls in the Afghan Premier League on Sunday to equal the all-time T20 record held by his idol Chris Gayle and Yuvraj Singh.

The 20-year-old batsman blasted left-arm spinner Abdullah Mazari for six sixes in one over on his way to tying the mark for the fastest 50 in T20 cricket.

Gayle witnessed the big-hitting as he was in the opposing Balkh Legends team. –
