Hello there! We, at SportsCafe, have a guy dedicated to watch the match closely and see things that only a trained eye can pick up. Most of you might have thought India would win this game easily and did not care to switch on the TV until the final overs of the game, this article is for you.

Thala is back!

The crowd was surprised when they saw MS Dhoni walking to the pitch for the toss, and it was later on clarified that Rohit Sharma was rested and MS Dhoni was given the opportunity to captain India for a record 200th time!

The patriotic salesmen! 

The Indian salesmen in the stadium stopped selling for a minute after Kuldeep Yadav castling the Afghanistani captain Asghar Afghan with a beautiful delivery!

The enthusiastic teammate!

After Ahmed Shahzad scored his 5th ODI ton, it was his teammate, Gulbadin Naib, who started celebrating like he scored a century.

Take it easy policy!

When the mistakes of a player are shown on the big screen, some of them get irritated. But Ambati Rayudu isn’t one of them. When the catch dropped by Rayudu was shown on the big screen, he was seen grinning from one ear to ear.

Collision course! 

In order to remove the dangerous Mohammad Nabi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Dinesh Karthik ran to get the catch that Nabi had gifted and collided with each other. Thankfully Kuldeep Yadav caught it before colliding with Dinesh Karthik and Nabi had to depart!

How may I assist you?

The security guard in the crowd today helped one of the Indian fans catch a ball that was launched by one of the Afghanistan batsmen. Looks like the security guards in the stadium are there to help you with anything!

Unlucky MS Dhoni!

MS Dhoni was given out (lbw) wrongly by the umpire and he wanted to go for the review. Unfortunately, KL Rahul had wasted it while trying to protect his wicket. When the ball-tracking replay was shown it was revealed that the ball was going away from the leg stump!

That’s got to hurt!

While celebrating MS Dhoni’s wicket, Javed Ahmadi was unaware of the ball thrown by the fielder and was struck on his wrist. Ouch! 

Times up!

When Bumrah came in to give new gloves and instructions from the dressing room, but he was asked to leave immediately after giving the gloves and wasn’t given a chance to talk to the batsmen as the drinks time was up.

Fight Fight Fight!

At the beginning of the 38th over the leg umpire had to separate Dinesh Karthik and Mohammad Shahzad because of an altercation between the 2 players.
