In the 2023 ICC World Cup held in India, Pakistani opening batsman Abdulah Shafique, who scored a century against Sri Lanka in his World Cup debut, has proven his prediction made three years ago right.
While Pakistani analysts praised Abdulah Shafique's performance against Sri Lanka, Indian analysts, too, acknowledged the excellent performance of the young cricketer without giving specific compliments.
Abdulah Shafique had stated three years ago that he would raise Pakistan's name one day, and now, his social media post from 3 years ago is going viral, with cricket enthusiasts creating various memes and sharing it on different platforms, including social media pages.
Three years ago, Abdulah Shafique had shared a picture on his social media where he is lifting a bag on his shoulder, captioning it with "Insha'Allah, one day I will make myself proud." This post was shared on July 21, 2020, and it is now going viral due to his outstanding performance in his debut World Cup match.
Remember that the young opener displayed an excellent performance in his debut World Cup match against Sri Lanka in the 2023 ICC World Cup. He scored 113 runs off 103 deliveries, including ten fours and three sixes.
Furthermore, Abdulah Shafique, Pakistan's opener, became the sole Pakistani batsman to score a century in his debut World Cup match, setting a record for the highest individual score in debut World Cup matches.
