‘Don’t have time to prove anyone wrong’: Salman Ali Agha on viral celebration

Pakistan cricket star Salman Ali Agha made a strong return to international cricket when he scored an impressive century against Sri Lanka on Sunday. However, it was his unconventional celebration that captured the attention of fans. Instead of showing off his talent or proving his critics wrong, Agha dedicated the celebration to his young son.

"I love cricket, I love batting, and I love playing for Pakistan," Agha said after the game. The 32-year-old batter hit 107 runs off 90 balls, including 10 fours and a six, leading Pakistan to a 37-run victory in Rawalpindi. This performance marked Agha's fourth ODI century, and it was the fastest one he had ever scored. Agha's success came after a challenging period for him, including losing the T20I captaincy and being dropped from the Test squad during the England tour.

Prior to this, Agha had scored an unbeaten 300 in the President's Trophy domestic cricket competition. Agha also took the opportunity to advocate for domestic cricket, emphasizing that the efforts of players at that level should be recognized more. For Agha, Sunday's century was a testament to his skill, but the celebration held a more personal significance. It was a special moment for his young son.
