India vs Afghanistan, 1st T20, Highlights: Ind vs Afg:
Chasing 159 runs, India lost four wickets, but Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh led the team to beat Afghanistan by 6 wickets at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali in the first T20 International on 11 January. With this win, India lead the tri series by 1-0.
India started their innings with a disappointing moment when skipper Rohit Sharma (0) was run out in the first over by Ibrahim Zadran. Following this, Shubman Gill (23) lost his wicket to Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the 4th over. Tilak Verma (26) gave some momentum, however, lost his wicket to Azmatullah Omarzai in the 9th over.
After this, Shivam Dube and Jitesh Sharma built a good partnership. But, Sharma (31) lost his wicket to Mujeeb Ur Rahman in the 14th over.
After this, Rinku Singh (16*) came to the crease and there was no turning back. Shivam Dube (60*) scored his second T20 half century and led India to beat Afghanistan by 6 wickets.
For Afghanistan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman took two wickets, while Azmatullah Omarzai picked one wicket.
Earlier, Afghanistan settled for 158/5 against India in the first T20 International.
Mohammad Nabi was the top-scorer for the visitors, scoring a brisk 42 off 27 balls to prop up the innings.
Asked to bat first, Afghanistan skipper Ibrahim Zadran (25 off 22 balls) and Rahmanullah Gurbaz (23 off 28) added 50 runs in eight overs, but they could not force the pace during their stay.
Azmatullah Omarzai chipped in with a 22-ball 29.
Left-arm spinner Axar Patel was the most successful bowler for India, with figures of 2/23, while Mukesh Kumar bagged 2/33.
Earlier, India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first against Afghanistan in the first T20 International.
Sanju Samson, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav and Yashashvi Jaiswal, who was finalised as one of the openers along with the captain on the eve of the first game, will miss the match due to injuries. Rohit said at the toss that Yashashvi “didn’t pull off well”.
Fans, however, will miss the services of veteran Indian batter Virat Kohli who was named in the Indian XI for the Afghanistan series but isn’t available for selection in the 1st game owing to ‘personal reasons’. In Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav’s absence, Shubman Gill is expected to take the number 3 spot while coach Rahul Dravid has confirmed that Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting for India.
Meanwhile, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh and Sanju Samson are also expected to find a place in the Indian playing XI, settling almost all spots in the top 6 Indian batting lineup.
Afghanistan, on the other hand, have suffered a major blow ahead of the India series with star bowler Rashid Khan being ruled unfit to be part of the T20 series.
Afghan coach Jonathan Trott seems to have taken Rashid’s exclusion in good stride noting that it will be interesting to see who will stand up to take the key player’s place.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Trott said, “Obviously, we are going to miss a player like Rashid, his leadership and the overall package he brings to the side. But it’ll be good to see who is going to stand up and take responsibility and pressure, just a couple of months after the World Cup,”

India vs Afghanistan Live Score: Rohit Sharma at toss
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: We’ve decided to field first. There’s no specific reason behind this choice; the pitch here at Mohali is consistent and doesn’t vary much. These three games are crucial for us, especially since we haven’t played much T20 cricket in the lead-up to the World Cup. Of course, there’s the IPL, but playing in international matches is a different ball game, and we’re keen to make the most of this opportunity. I’ve had a discussion with Rahul Dravid about our team composition and strategy moving forward. Our focus is on understanding and executing our roles effectively as a unit. However, the ultimate goal remains to win.”

India vs Afghanistan Live Score: Pitch report
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: Deep Dasgupta and Nick Knight with the pitch report. Square boundaries – 65 metres and 68 metres, straight boundary – 76 metres. Nice tinge of green grass, it’ll do a little bit for the quicker bowlers with the new ball. After that, it’ll slide on quite nicely. The quicker bowlers have had problems here. The spinners have been flourishing on this surface. Not a lot (for the spinners). When you look at the Afghanistan spinners, you don’t focus on what’s gonna happen here (on the pitch), you focus on what’s happening as the ball comes down. They bowl quick, so as a batter the decision making time is less. They rush you a little bit. I don’t think there’s going to be any dew. There wasn’t last night, I don’t think there will be today.
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: India vs Afghanistan Head-to-Head
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: Both teams have contested on five occasions with India winning four games and one game ending in no result. Afghanistan are yet to open their account.
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: “We’re certainly opening with Rohit and Jaiswal,” says Rahul Dravid
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: “As of now, We’re certainly opening with Rohit and Jaiswal. But when you have a squad, you have to have that flexibility to do whatever is required if that is in the best interest of the team, and gives us the best chance to succeed. So nothing is closed. But certainly, we’re really happy with what Jaiswal has done as an opener for us, and he gives us a left-right combination as well at the top,” Rahul Dravid said in a pre-match press conference.
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: “Definitely” have plans for Rohit, Virat: Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott
India vs Afghanistan Live Score: “Any side that India selects is strong. Add to that the likes of Rohit and Virat, and they have been world-class players for a while. We are fortunate enough to have players who have played quite a lot of cricket against them in the IPL. The other guys have watched them on TV, so there will definitely be some plans for them. It’s about executing those plans and making sure that on the day we are ready to do that,” Jonathan Trott told JioCinema.
India vs Afghanistan Live: De Villiers terms Rohit-Virat recall for T20Is a “smart move”
India vs Afghanistan Live: “I am not surprised. I am happy for both Rohit and Virat. You want to take your best team to the World Cup. I can understand the criticism regarding the youngsters who will miss out after playing all this while. I was in this position at the backend of my career, it did not work out for me like it did for Virat and Rohit. It is a right and a smart move to get your experienced players, who have been there and done that, to play in the World Cup,” De Villiers told the media.
India vs Afghanistan Live: Focus on Sanju Samson
India vs Afghanistan Live: Sanju Samson has probably forced his way into this Team India squad thanks to that ODI century(108 off 114 balls) he scored against South Africa in the third ODI and helped India win the ODI series 2-1.
India vs Afghanistan Live: Coach Rahul Dravid’s approach on dealing with spinners
India vs Afghanistan Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Dravid said, “We know they have got some really good spinners. So it will be a good challenge for our batsmen. We have discussed about it as well – how to play and dominate their spinners. So it will be a good challenge, and we are looking forward to it,”
