India vs Afghanistan: India thrash Afghanistan by 127 runs to sweep T20I series
India wrapped up the three-match IND vs AFG T20I series in emphatic style on Thursday night, crushing Afghanistan by 127 runs to seal a 3-0 whitewash at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. Rising opener Abhishek Sharma lit up the capital with a sensational 30-ball century—India’s fastest in T20Is—propelling the hosts to a daunting 221-7 after captain Hardik Pandya opted to bat first.
Sharma’s fireworks
• The left-hander raced to fifty in just 16 balls before unleashing three consecutive sixes off Rashid Khan to reach his maiden international ton, eventually falling for 112 off 44 deliveries.
• Supported by Tilak Varma’s breezy 41 (23) and a late cameo from Rinku Singh (28* off 12), India posted their highest ever T20I total against Afghanistan.
Afghanistan unravel
Chasing 222, Afghanistan’s reply never recovered from Jasprit Bumrah’s new-ball double strike. The visitors were skittled for 94 in 15.3 overs despite resistance from Rahmanullah Gurbaz (27). Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav mopped up the tail with 3-14, while Arshdeep Singh chipped in with 2-18.
Series at a glance
• 1st T20I, Mumbai: India won by 7 wickets (157-3 v 156-8)
• 2nd T20I, Nagpur: India won by 35 runs (191-6 v 156-9)
• 3rd T20I, Delhi: India won by 127 runs (221-7 v 94)
Key takeaways for India
1. Abhishek Sharma’s record ton strengthens his claim for a permanent top-order slot ahead of next year’s ICC T20 World Cup.
2. Pace duo Bumrah and Arshdeep found swing and yorker accuracy, conceding under six an over across the series.
3. Kuldeep’s middle-overs control (series figures 9-0-45-7) gives India a potent spin option alongside the returning Ravindra Jadeja.
Afghanistan’s road ahead
The tourists will need batting recalibration before their ODI tri-series in Sharjah next month. Skipper Rashid Khan acknowledged the gulf in power-hitting and urged his side to “trust their scoring areas and rotate strike better against high-pace attacks.”
What’s next?
India regroup in Bengaluru for a two-match Test series versus New Zealand starting 5 October, while Afghanistan fly home for a week’s rest before assembling in the UAE.
