Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi is indeed a humble and down-to-earth individual, both on and off the field. His simplicity and approachability are reflected not only in his leadership style but also in his personal preferences like avoiding spicy food. It’s refreshing to see a top-level cricketer with such grounded tastes, especially in a sport often associated with larger-than-life personalities. His smile and attitude show a genuine side of him, making him relatable to many fans.

“I don’t like spicy food. I will be in trouble if I am served spicy food,” Hashmatullah says with a big smile. Hashmatullah’s willingness to use a word like “sacrifice” speaks volumes about his leadership and selflessness as a captain. In a world where individual milestones often grab headlines, Shahidi’s focus on putting the team’s interests above his own is truly rare. His sense of responsibility and dedication to Afghanistan’s cricketing success reflects a captain who leads not just by strategy, but by example.

This kind of mindset is crucial for fostering a strong team spirit, especially for a team like Afghanistan that continues to make strides on the global stage. But it’s also worth noting that leading a side with this level of commitment can be emotionally and physically taxing. Sacrifice comes with its own challenges, and balancing personal and team goals might sometimes be difficult, especially in the high-pressure world of international cricket.

Shahidi’s approach, while admirable, also sets the bar high for his teammates, who must align with his vision to truly bring out the best in the squad. “If you are a leader and you don’t want to sacrifice for the sake of your side, it’s not of much of help,” he points out. Hashmatullah’s honest and selfless approach has clearly resonated with his team, fostering a culture of unity and purpose.

Afghanistan’s recent performances against powerhouses like Australia, England, and Pakistan are a testament to how well the team responds to their captain’s leadership. The way they’ve grown as a unit under his guidance is nothing short of remarkable.

However, beating teams like India and South Africa requires a certain level of “magic” or next-level performance. This magic could come in the form of more consistent batting depth, sharp fielding, and the continued brilliance of their spinners like Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Afghanistan is on the cusp of something great, and with Shahidi’s leadership and the team’s belief in their collective vision, it might not be long before they topple the remaining giants of world cricket. “Our team is improving in white ball cricket but a few more Tests in a year could also improve our standing in the longest format of the game,” Hashmatullah points out as his team gets ready to take on New Zealand in a one-off Test match starting from September 9 onwards in Greater Noida.
