Arun Jaitley Stadium: 'Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee' is famously attributed to legendary boxer Mohammad Ali. While the first part of the quote talks about having nimble footwork a boxer should have to outsmart the opponent, the second phase refers to giving a knockout blow to win the game in the ring.

On Sunday, if the meanings of Ali’s iconic quote were imbibed at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, it was done by Afghanistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz. One wonders if Gurbaz has come across the quote or not, but in front of 26,440 fans in New Delhi, he showed why that line fits well for his knock of 80 off 57 balls, setting the base for a famous Afghanistan victory over England.
