In a thrilling T20 encounter at Holkar Stadium in Indore, India showcased its cricketing brilliance, securing a dominant victory over Afghanistan in the 2nd T20I. Star allrounder Shivam Dube, batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, pacer Arshdeep Singh, and spinner Axar Patel shone in the dominant series victory for India.
Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, India’s bowlers, led by Arshdeep Singh’s stellar performance, restricted Afghanistan to 172 runs in 20 overs. Star Afghanistan batter Gulbadin’s explosive innings of 57 runs fueled Afghanistan’s competitive total. However, Arshdeep’s three wickets and effective bowling from Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi controlled the opposition.
Arshdeep’s exceptional bowling figures of 3 for 32 were crucial in breaking partnerships and containing Afghanistan’s run flow. His impactful performance paved the way for India’s success in restricting the opposition to a challenging but achievable total.
India batted well after a poor start
Chasing a target of 173 runs, India had a poor start as skipper Rohit Sharma continued his poor batting performance. Rohit once again got dismissed for a duck, this time a golden one, as Fazal Haq Farooqi dismissed him on the very first ball.
However, Yashasvi Jaiswal ignited the innings with an impressive knock of 68 runs off 34 balls, setting the tone for India’s run chase. Shivam Dube’s dynamic all-round performance played a pivotal role, as he not only contributed with the ball but also played a sensational innings of 63 runs off 32 balls. His aggressive batting display included five fours and two sixes, guiding India to a comfortable victory.
