Twitter reacts as Ikram Ali Khil's brilliant innings goes in vain after Afghanistan lose to West Indies

Will they be build a batting unit around Rahmat shah, Ikram Ali Khil and Hashmatulla shahidi to support their bowling though? Afghanistan's future in cricket may depend on that.

Brilliant knock by Ikram Ali khil, who just missed out his Maiden 💯 & also on becoming the first-ever teenage World Cup centurion. But he breaks Sachin sir (81) highest teenage record 👏



Well played young boy Ikram 86 runs 👍

Afganistan should invest more on Ikram Ali....such a talented youngster who can shoulder his country in the long run and embark his country to the cricket World Map

Always loved watching Rahmat Shah. Touch of class about him. But how good has young Ikram Ali Khil been! Got a chance to bat at no 3 and said thank you I'll take it!

Ikram Ali Khil was too good to be wasted down the order!

Ikram Ali Khil becomes the first batsman to score a 50 to be born in the 21st Century - he is just 18 years old and was born in September 2000

Is Ikram Ali Khil really a No. 3 batsman? He's got a career average and strike-rate of 13.40 and 37.43 respectively.

This guy Ikram Ali Khil batting on 84

was coming in to bat around No.8 at the start



Possibly even the team had no clue what to do with him



He batted at 4 vs Pakistan scored 24 and looks good to get a hundred in a chase vs Windies now.
