India Vs Afghanistan News

What was anticipated to be a dead rubber caved into an epic cliffhanger as Rohit Sharma’s ton and Rinku Singh’s fifty were numerically matched by the fifties from the Afghan top three. One Super Over was not enough to decide the outcome of the game as the second one bore the result the hosts' favor.

Fitness is as important to an athlete as a balanced diet is for healthy living. Sanju Samson recreating an MS Dhini-like stumping in a jiffy to dismiss well-set Ibrahim Zadran in the third T20I in Bengaluru echoed the importance of robust and quick reflexes for a wicketkeeper behind the stumps.

The Men in Blue sealed the three-match T20I series 2-0 against Afghanistan on Sunday with a 6-wicket win at the Holkar Stadium. The Indian chase was fueled by a 92-run partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube, ensuring the hosts raced to the target of 172 runs with 25 balls to spare. 

The confidence to reply with silence can be a source of great strength. Afghan star Mujeeb Ur Rahman proved this on Sunday as he hit Shivam Dube for a humongous six after the pacer’s preposterous slow ball, which drew great laughter from the Indian contingent, had deceived him earlier.
