On this day in 2014, Ahmed Shehzad’s historic century, during the ICC T20 World Cup match against Bangladesh at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, showcased his exceptional talent and ability to perform under pressure. His unbeaten innings of 111 runs from just 62 deliveries, including 10 fours and five sixes, demonstrated controlled aggression and solid batting technique. This milestone not only cemented Shehzad’s place in Pakistan cricket history but also highlighted his potential as a game-changer in T20 cricket.
Debuting in T20 Internationals in 2009, Shehzad had already shown promise with three half-centuries in 24 matches. However, his maiden century elevated him to the ranks of elite T20I batsmen, alongside legends like Brendon McCullum, Chris Gayle, and Suresh Raina. Shehzad’s innings remains a memorable moment in Pakistan cricket, symbolizing his contribution to the team’s success and his significance in the T20 format.
