Riding on the back of fine knocks from skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai, Afghanistan posted 273 runs total for India. The mentioned two batters were aided by the remaining members of the Afghanistan playing 11 with small contributions. However, none besides the two mentioned, could score big and look settled against the Indian bowling.
While 273 looks like a sizable score on a normal day in business, but the pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium had everything a batter needed. The ball was coming onto the bat nicely and not an ounce of struggle was there for the batters.
India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah scalped four wickets, vice-captain Hardik Pandya got two in his bag while Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur got one apiece in their bags.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were up for the challenge of 273 runs total and their response was loud and clear. Skipper Rohit Sharma ripped apart Afghanistan’s bowling lineup during his stay in the middle, while Ishan Kishan played second fiddle to him.
Sharma eventually went on to notch up the fastest World Cup century for India as he scored 131 runs in 84 deliveries before getting bamboozled by Rashid Khan. Sharma brought up a century in just 63 deliveries. Also, he went past Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most centuries in World Cup events – Rohit Sharma has seven now.
Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan quietly scored 47 runs in as many balls before getting dismissed by Rashid Khan. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan were the only two wickets to fall for India.
The rest of the work was done for India by Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, who completed the desired work in 35 overs with eight wickets in hand. With the win, Team India moved up in the ICC Cricket World Cup Points Table with a healthy net run rate.
