Sikandar Raza turned back the clock in dramatic fashion during the second T20I against Afghanistan, cracking an unbeaten 106 runs off only 56 deliveries, according to Yahoo Sports.

The innings made the 40-year-old the oldest batter from a Full Member cricket nation to ever score a century in T20 international history, a milestone that cements his place among the format's elite performers at an age when most players have long retired.

Raza's explosive knock highlighted his continued value to Zimbabwe's side even as he approaches the twilight of his international career, delivering a standout performance on one of cricket's biggest stages for a veteran player.
