NEW DELHI: Afghanistan shed their 'minnows' label in the ICC World ODI Cup thanks largely to the influence of mentor Ajay Jadeja. The former Indian cricketer played a pivotal role in shaping Afghanistan's performance throughout the World Cup.
Previously regarded as underdogs in the tournament with only one win in two prior campaigns, Afghanistan concluded the recent event in India with an impressive four victories. Their noteworthy performance secured a sixth-place finish, ensuring their spot in the Champions Trophy.
