Ibrahim Zadran credited words of wisdom from cricketing great Sachin Tendulkar after scoring Afghanistan's first World Cup century with an unbeaten 129 against Australia. Former India batter Tendulkar, the leading run-scorer in both Test and one-day international cricket, saw Afghanistan in training ahead of Tuesday's encounter in Mumbai.
'I said before the game I will play like Tendulkar and I am very thankful he shared his experience with me. It gave me lots of confidence. That's why I did this score. 'I am feeling so great to become the first Afghanistan player to make a hundred in a World Cup. It's a wonderful achievement for me but I want to make more hundreds in cricket in the future. 'I have worked really hard for this tournament.
