Pat Sajak's Wheel Of Fortune Replacement Already Found? It's An Awful Choice The biggest highlight of last night’s IPL game between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Mumbai Indians (MI) turned out to be the 18-year old Afghan left-arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmad. Noor surprised everyone by dismissing Cameron Green and Tim David in the 10th over of the match. In his next spell, he caught and bowled Suryakumar Yadav, thereby completely breaking the middle order of MI. Mumbai Indians were chasing the target of 207, but the team crumbled at 152, all thanks to Noor Ahmed, who changed the game in 2 overs by taking crucial wickets of Green, Tim David and Yadav. This was only the second match for Noor Ahmed at IPL, the leg-spinner who was acquired by GT at a price of Rs 30 lakh. In 2 matches so far, Noor has taken 6 wickets, and his economy is at 8.13. Who is Noor Mohammad? Born on January 3, 2005, Noor Ahmed comes from Afghanistan’s Khost province. He was first identified by former Afghanistan captain and National Selector Raees Ahmedzai. After playing under-19 cricket and proving his mettle there, Noor was selected to play for the national team, and in June 2022, he made his debut against Zimbabwe. Noor amazed everyone in the first match only by taking 4 wickets at Harare. In November 2023, he played his first ODI against Sri Lanka. He was signed by Gujarat Titans (GT) in November after his good performance at the international level. © Provided by DailyO Afghanistan's Noor Ahmed took 3 wick...

In addition to the three Mumbai wickets, Noor's tally for the season so far is: Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals), Nicholas Pooran and Krunal Pandya (Lucknow Super Giants), and Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Rinku Singh (Kolkata Knight Riders). Having made his debut as an impact player, Noor is now part of Titans' first XI. "There was pressure in the first match, but I just wanted to enjoy it because it was a totally new experience for me. I know IPL is a very big stage in cricket. The more I enjoy, the more I will succeed. I want to bowl to the top players and have got some of them out. I am just enjoying bowling to these guys." If Noor was nervous and excited on his IPL debut, his family was no less so, back in Afghanistan. "The amazing thing was in the first match when I got the Samson wicket, one of my brothers got up and punched a door and broke it," Noor says, laughing. "The whole door!" I asked him why. He said, 'I was not having control over my emotions.'" Pressure to think twice before embarking on a cricket career came from outside the family too. "Sometimes the school teachers, including the principal, came and spoke to my father and told him, 'He is a good kid in school, he is talented, so please don't let him play cricket. Bring him to school.'" It is a common predicament for every talented Afghan athlete, Ahmadzai says. Noor's teenage years coincided with the arrival of Rashid onto the global stage.

Noor Ahmad, the left-hander Rashid Khan is getting it right at IPL Noor Ahmad took two wickets for Gujarat Titans in its crushing victory against Royals, and proved a perfect foil for his more famous fellow-countryman. From six matches so far, he has taken 10 wickets. May 08, 2023 05:23 am | Updated 09:11 am IST - JAIPUR One Rashid Khan could be a handful for a batting line-up. Imagine having to face a left-handed Rashid from the other end. Rajasthan Royals found out that wasn’t a particularly pleasant experience at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday night. Noor Ahmad, the 18-year-old left-arm wrist-spinner from Afghanistan, is turning out to be one of the emerging stars of the IPL this season. He took two wickets for Gujarat Titans in its crushing victory against Royals, and proved a perfect foil for his more famous fellow-countryman. From six matches so far, he has taken 10 wickets. Noor’s first game was against Royals at Ahmedabad, coming in as an Impact Player. His maiden wicket was a big one – Sanju Samson, whom he had mistiming a shot to long-off after being hit for a four and a six. Noor has since found a regular place in the Titans eleven, and has justified the management’s faith in him. Look at the way he foxed Devdutt Padikkal and knocked down his off-stump in the last match; it wasn’t dissimilar from Rashid’s dismissal of R. Ashwin a few overs before. Noor must be pleased with the similarity: all he wanted was to bowl just like his hero. But Rashid and Titans’...

In 2019, he made his first class debut for Kabul Region in the 2019-20 Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-day tournament. A left-arm wrist spinner by profession, Ahmad was drafted in the Afghanistan squad for the 2020 Under-19 World Cup. Ahmad became a sensation when the spinner was drafted in by the Melbourne Renegades to play in the 2020-21 Big Bash League at age of 15. Ahmad was on the Renegades’s radar ever since the Under-19 World Cup, where he impressed everyone with his variations. The Afghan born played 6 matches, but only managed to pick two wickets at an economy of 8.36. In March 2021, he was picked by the Chennai Super Kings as a net bowler, ahead of the 2021 Indian Premier League. Ahmad continued his love-affair...

Even at 41, Tahir remains a reliable T20 performer. However, he is only available after Christmas, so the Renegades moved for another spinner to fill the void. This is where the story gets interesting. Noor Ahmad is comfortably young enough to be Tahir's son. The left-arm wrist-spinner from Afghanistan will be lining up in one of the world's most high-profile T20 leagues alongside some of the best players on the planet at just 15 years of age. It is the latest success story from a nation whose rise from the horrors of war to global cricketing force is well known. For Ahmad, entering the franchise world is a step towards emulating Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, heroes both to the teenager and the rest of Afghanistan. "I used to play cricket with my elder brothers where we live in Khost," Ahmad, who has seven brothers and sisters, told BBC Sport. "I would watch the national team play on the television and dream that one day that could be me on there. "Because I was always under age while playing with my brothers and others, it was clear after some time that people had difficulty when playing my bowling. "One of my brothers suggested that I should attend the local cricket academy because he could see my talents. Allah has given me a gift and it is something natural." • Hobart Hurricanes beat Sydney Sixers in BBL opening game • England's Malan on DIY, Big Bash quarantine & Test hopes • Big Bash fixtures and results Ahmad was born four years after the US invasion of Afghanistan...
