Rahmanullah Gurbaz on his playing style and not changing it for anyone, saying he plays to entertain the fans.
I won’t change my game, I play to entertain fans: Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the Afghanistan opener, has stated that he is not prepared to alter his style of play in order to amuse the crowd.
As Afghanistan gets ready for the next T20 World Cup, Gurbaz plays a significant role in their batting lineup. Because of his exceptional talent, the club management would like him to remain at the crease for a longer period of time. This isn’t always the case, though, as he frequently gets out while playing aggressive cricket.
“I think I don’t want to change anything in my cricket game because people know Gurbaz, what Gurbaz’s style is, and I want to be the same Gurbaz because I want to entertain people, I want to provide fun to the fans who are coming to the ground,” Gurbaz, who is playing for Dhaka Capitals in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League T20 tournament, told.
“I just try to play my natural game. If the situation is difficult then I try to give myself some time, but yeah, clearly everyone knows that I’m playing attacking cricket. Most of the bowlers knows that I’m charging at them but the bowlers also make plans for me and sometimes I’m successful, sometimes I just fail, but that’s life. I’m happy the way I’m playing and I’m happy with whatever I’m doing. Hopefully I just keep continuing the same thing,” he said.
Gurbaz added that he is happy with whatever he has achieved. “I’m very grateful for whatever I have achieved in my life and from cricket journey. I think it’s just, it was just dream to play cricket for my country and then I achieved that. I know how hard was it for me to come and to achieve my national target and then international and plus leagues. But yeah, I’m grateful for whatever I have achieved,” he said.
“Sometimes I just feel like I’m lucky that I achieved everything… I work really hard. I love the game. I love practice. I love hard work. So there’s one sentence: when you work hard, you will get the result for sure and if not today maybe tomorrow. If not tomorrow, one day you will get it for sure. I am getting the result of the hard work of my last six, seven, ten years,” he said.
