IND Vs AFG T20 World Cup 2024: Surya Kumar Yadav once again proved why he is the best T20i batsman. After an underwhelming start to the tournament, he is back to his best with two consecutive half-centuries.
Both times, the century came when the Indian team was in huge trouble. He played a match-winning knock against the USA and now he once again saved India from trouble against Afghanistan.
The Super 8 match between India and Pakistan had a chaotic start. Fazalhaq Farooqui was swinging the ball and Rohit Sharma had no idea about it. Farooqui and Rashid Khan broke the top order of the Indian team and that is when Sky pulled up.
The Number 1 T20i Batsman
Sky was confident throughout the innings. He played according to the situation and weaved a few solid partnerships. Firstly, he scripted a solid partnership with Virat Kohli.
As Kohli was dismissed, Sky continued his momentum and created a match-winning partnership with Hardik Pandya. Pandya was once again impressive and played a solid knock alongside Sky.
The Number 1 T20i batsman played a solid knock of 53 runs in just 28 deliveries. He played this knock with a strike rate of 190. His inning included 5 boundaries and 3 sensational sixes.
IND Vs AFG T20 World Cup 2024: Comeback!
With this inning and great cameos by Pandya, Pant, and Axar Patel, India was able to touch the 180-run mark. On this pitch, it is a very good par score and the pitch is only going to get slower from here.
Afghanistan has a mountain to climb now as they will face three quality spinners on this slow pitch. With the quality of Bumrah and Kuldeep, it will be a very hard chase for the Afghans.
