After winning the third match in Bengaluru with much effort, the Indian cricket team made history by defeating Afghanistan 3-0 in the three-match series.
India Makes History
After a fiercely contested victory in the third match in Bengaluru on Wednesday, the Indian cricket team created history by winning the three-match series 3-0 against Afghanistan. In the end, India prevailed in two Super Overs, with Rohit Sharma, Rinku Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi emerging as the match’s top performers. With this series victory, India has now won nine straight T20I cricket whitewash series, more than any other nation in the sport’s shortest format. India and Pakistan were deadlocked at eight points, but Rohit Sharma’s team won on Wednesday to capture the incredible T20I record.
After two exciting super overs, India defeated Afghanistan in the third Twenty20 International match.
Afghanistan also finished with the same score in Chasing 212.
India’s End Game
India extended the score to 16 in the first super over to tie the score with Afghanistan. However, the visitors were unable to reach a target of 12 in the second super over as Rohit Sharma’s team took the necessary two wickets thanks to Ravi Bishnoi.
Earlier, India rallied to record 212 for four after falling to 22 for four in the fifth over, driven by captain Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 69-ball 121 and Rinku Singh’s 69 off 39 deliveries.
Gulbadin Naib led his team’s incredible comeback with a 23-ball 55 as Afghanistan also finished at 212.
Even though Rohit and Rinku outperformed Fareed Ahmad Malik and finished with great figures of 3/20, Malik was Afghanistan’s most successful bowler.

Overall Celebrations For India
In the T20I series, India’s third and final match against Afghanistan proved to be a nerve-wracking exercise that tested our ability to be patient. Little did we realize that the match would become a marathon spanning 44 overs, even though India had already dismissed Afghanistan’s openers and was defending a target of 213 runs. It was quite the rollercoaster, with one Super Over ending in a draw and another Super Over show following.
The pinnacle? India defeated Afghanistan by 10 runs to complete the series with a commanding 3-0 lead. Cricket fans couldn’t help but think back to New Zealand’s heartbreaking loss to England in the 2019 World Cup final as celebrations for the Men in Blue erupted among Indian fans. England won because of the controversial boundary count rule, which the ICC has subsequently shelved. Discussions about New Zealand’s agony was reignited as India and Afghanistan negotiated another Super Over to determine the victor. It was a déjà vu moment. Internet users were inundated with memes, with Desis jokingly imagining Captain Kane Williamson’s expressions and sidelong glances following the evening’s spectacle. After learning that the previous super over was tied, Kane Williamson bowled another one.
