AfghanAtalan fought hard but it wasn't meant to be as #TeamIndia batted too well to chase the target by 6 wickets. 👍#AfghanAtalan | #INDvAFG2024 | @IntexBrand | @EtisalatAf | @LavaMobile pic.twitter.com/M9xek9EqtE
The young Jaiswal stole the show early on, smashing 68 runs off just 34 balls. He reached his half-century in a mere 27 deliveries, the fastest by an Indian against Afghanistan in T20Is. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck, second time in the series. After the departure of Rohit, the pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli steadied the ship and added 57 quick runs in 28 deliveries. Virat Kohli, who is returning in the cricket's shortest format after T20 World Cup 2022, looked in ominous form. He hammered a quick fire of 29 runs in 16 deliveries.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's entertaining knock comes to an end on 68 runs.

Earlier, Gulbadin had led the charge for Afghanistan with a powerful 57 off 35 balls. Promoted to number 3, the veteran batsman provided much-needed solidity to the middle order. A late flourish from the lower order, with Afghanistan adding 63 runs in the last five overs, helped them reach a respectable total of 172.
