It has been reported in the media that Ratan Tata is planning to award an economic prize of 10 crore rupees to the Afghan cricket star Rashid Khan for defeating Pakistan in the ongoing ODI World Cup.



However, when this news was directly addressed to him, Ratan Tata openly denied it through his social media.


Ratan Tata stated, "I have made no suggestions to the ICC or any cricket faculty about any cricket member regarding a fine or reward to any players.

I have no connection to cricket whatsoever.

Please do not believe WhatsApp forwards and videos of such nature unless they come from my official…"
 

Afghanistan's unbeaten streak continues :

Despite defeating Pakistan, Afghanistan remains a strong contender in the World Cup.

Recently, they achieved a resounding victory against Sri Lanka.


Rashid Khan played a crucial role, taking four wickets and bowling out Sri Lanka for 241 runs.


While Sri Lanka had a decent start, none of their batsmen managed to surpass the halfway mark.


The target was not an easy one to reach, and it required some effort to get there.


Sri Lanka was just seven wickets away from victory, but Afghanistan managed to defend their total.


Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai's unbeaten century partnership secured Afghanistan's third victory in the World Cup.


This win has raised their hopes of reaching the semifinals.

Azmatullah Omarzai played a key role, scoring 73 not out for Afghanistan.
