Kohliās unbeaten 122 runs from 61 balls laced with 12 fours and six sixes helped India post a total of 212/2.Ā
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was in red-hot form with the new ball today. He started providing breakthroughs right from the start bowling an amazing spell. He leaked just 4 runs in his spell taking a fifer including a maiden over. India restricted Afghanistan on 111/8 winning the encounter by 101Ā runs.Ā
