Afghanistan’s Mohammad Shahzad scored his fifth ODI century against India during their Super Four match of the Asia Cup on Tuesday, 25 September. The 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman raced to a hundred in 88 deliveries at the Dubai Stadium.

Virender Sehwag, VVS Laxman among others lauded Shahzad’s century, while others mentioned how skills were more important than size.

Brilliant 100 from Mohammad Shahzad. Seems to be batting on a different wicket.

This has been an incredible innings from Mohammad Shahzad. A century when the team score is 133/5 . Will need support from others to take Afghanistan to a respectable score #INDvAFG

Size doesn't matter, but the size of score matters! 😜 Someone who backed his game, more than worrying about his size! Way to go! Brilliant hundred @MShahzad077! 💯 #INDvAFG #AsiaCup2018

Mohammad Shahzad, you beauty. On the Mumbai maidan, he might be cheekily called a Ganpathi: but in cricket, size doesn’t matter, talent does! Well played sir! #INDvAFG
