Let us tell you, it was a very exciting match but in the end India won this match. During the match, when the first super over was being bowled, India needed two runs on the last ball. However, after this Rohit Sharma called Rinku Singh as the third batsman and he himself retired out and returned to the pavilion. Actually, Rohit Sharma took this decision because Rinku Singh runs faster than him and he himself wanted to win this match. Indian team’s head coach Rahul Dravid presented his side regarding this. According to NDTV, Rahul Dravid said, ‘This was exactly Ravichandran Ashwin’s level of thinking.’ Afghanistan’s head coach Jonathan Trott was also surprised to see why this decision was taken? However, later he himself said that he did not know much about the rules and he himself was trying to understand all the rules. India won the three-match T20 series 3-0 In this match, the Indian team, batting first, scored 212 runs losing four wickets in 20 overs. On behalf of the team, captain Rohit Sharma played a record-breaking century of 121 runs in 69 balls with the help of 11 fours and eight sixes. Not only this, Rinku Singh also made a valuable contribution of 69* runs in this match. However, Gulbadin Naib, batting aggressively from Afghanistan’s side, played a stormy innings of 55 runs in 23 balls with the help of four fours and four sixes. Because of his innings, Afghanistan scored 212 runs losing six wickets in 20 overs. After this, in the first super over, Mukesh Kumar bowled for the Indian team and Afghanistan scored 16 runs. However, due to the aggressive batting of Rohit Sharma, the first super over also ended in a tie. In the second super over, the Indian team batted first and could score only 11 runs. The most surprising thing was that Ravi Bishnoi had come to bowl the second super over for the Indian team. Many people were quite surprised to see this thing. However, Ravi Bishnoi did not disappoint all the Indian fans and Rohit Sharma’s decision and he took two wickets for one run in three balls and played an important role in the victory of the Indian team. 5 Australian players who scored the fastest 4 thousand test runs These 5 Indian players will be out of T20 World Cup 2024 IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant returns, know how the playing XI of Delhi Capitals will be. 5 Indian players who have scored the most centuries in Test cricket against England Top 4 players who have scored most consecutive half centuries in T20 cricket 5 players who have taken the most catches in T20i cricket 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen…

SA20 2024: Aakash Chopra makes big prediction as he reveals the reason behind SA20 success
Aakash Chopra said CSA preferred the SA20, which proved to be excellent. Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Twitter) Former Indian cricketer and cricket expert Akash Chopra told that in 2023 SA20 Why the first edition was so successful and what fans can expect from SA20 2024. Aakash Chopra said on JioCinema’s daily sports show ‘#AAKASHVANI’: “I would like to go with AB de Villiers’ prediction that SA20 will soon become the second biggest league after IPL. I think SA20 has got the right direction and content right from the first season. For this you can give credit to Graeme Smith and the South African public. Fans had gathered even at neutral venues in SA20: Aakash Chopra Apart from these, the South Africa Cricket Board also deserves congratulations and credit for the importance given to SA20. It was very important to build a connection with the fans in the first season. You watch any match of the first season and stadiums everywhere were packed. Even at neutral venues, fans had gathered. SA20 has filled a gap that has been there in South African cricket for some time. Read here: “He was playing ODI cricket as if T-20 was going on” – Aakash Chopra said about Rohit Sharma The second thing that went right with SA20 is that CSA gave priority to this T20 league. Some people have complained that South Africa were not playing a full strength team in the Test series and they suffered defeat in the ODI series. But CSA realized that if they couldn’t provide something interesting, they wouldn’t be able to retain players for long. The SA20 is also known for local talent and the quality of their performances.” Left-handed players will be the main attraction this time: Aakash Chopra On expectations from the second edition of SA20, Aakash Chopra said: “The Indian connection, the SA20 teams are owned by IPL franchise owners. Due to this there is an overlap and a connection. The other thing about this league is that it was extremely successful last season, mainly due to the performance of its local players, be it Aiden Markram, Marco Johnson or Kagiso Rabada. I think this time left-arm spinners will play a major role. There is one left-arm spinner in every team. Keshav Maharaj is actually the captain of his team Durban Super Giants. Bjorn Fortuyn of Paarl Royals is also a good left-handed player. There is something about South African pitches where the fast bowlers perform well and the left-arm spinners too.” IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket Those 5 memorable innings of David Warner in Test cricket…
