X fans react after Indian cricket team wins third T20I against Afghanistan by securing the super over. The match between the two teams took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
India won the toss and opted to bat first and the wicket did not work well at first. They were rocked with big blows early on and were left reeling at 22/4. But captain Rohit Sharma took the responsibility and silenced all his critics.
Rohit Sharma hit a magnificent ton and finished with an unbeaten 121 runs. On the other hand, Rinku Singh supported him well as he scored 69 runs and added 190 runs in association with the skipper. His heroics propelled India to a total of 212 runs on the board.
Afghanistan got off to a dramatic start as Rahmanullah Gurbaz (50) and Ibrahim Zadran (50) added 93 runs for the opening partnership. After their partnership, Mohammad Nabi (34) made a cameo appearance but the visitors lost quick wickets.
But Gulbadin Naib (52*) brought his team back into the game and ensured that his team did not lose. The match ended in a draw and went to the super final. In the first super over, Afghanistan managed 16 runs and in a drastic turn of events, India also got the same and ended in a draw.
In the second super over, India with the bat could only score 11 runs, credit to captain Rohit Sharma. With the ball, India then handed over the responsibility to Ravi Bishnoi and he repaid the faith by picking three wickets in two balls to win the game for his team. The series went to the hosts as they completed a 3-0 whitewash to end the last series before the T20 World Cup 2024 on a high.
