IND Vs AFG: In a gripping encounter, Ravi Bishnoi’s resilient bowling in the second Super Over secured India’s victory over Afghanistan, completing a 3-0 series sweep in the T20I series in Bengaluru.

The teams had ended the regulation 20 overs with identical scores of 212, leading to an intense Super Over showdown.

Afghanistan set a challenging target of 16 runs in the first Super Over, propelled by Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s powerful hitting. Despite Rohit Sharma’s efforts, India fell short in their response, setting the stage for a second Super Over.

Rohit Sharma shone again in the second Super Over, but quick dismissals of Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson posed a challenge. Chasing 12, Afghanistan struggled against Ravi Bishnoi, losing both Nabi and Gurbaz, ultimately handing India a thrilling victory.

Earlier, in the regular innings, Rohit Sharma’s record-breaking performance led India to a formidable total of 212. Despite initial setbacks, Sharma’s spectacular recovery, along with Rinku Singh’s contributions, propelled India past the 100-run mark.

In response, Afghanistan’s openers, Gurbaz and Zadran, displayed resilience but were disrupted by strategic bowling from Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar. Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib’s partnership guided Afghanistan to a tie, forcing the dramatic Super Over conclusion.
