It may not have been pretty, but Najibullah Zadran won't care.When his willow connected with the leather during Afghanistan's Twenty20 clash with the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi on Monday, all that mattered is it went for six.
The shot was as unusual as you'll see, with Zadran slipping over and taking one hand off the bat before striking the ball deep over the extra cover boundary for the maximum.The shot won the game, too - with Afghanistan sealing a five-wicket victory over their fellow cricketing minnows.According to The National, the winning shot sent fans into raptures, with "headscarves and hats" flying in the air.Fair enough, too.If you watch nothing else tonight…you MUST watch this…it may not be elegant but it gets the job done! — Desert T20 Cricket (@Desert_T20)January 16, 2017
