India finally managed to get a result in their favor in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021, and it was such an impressive result that it has now brought India back into the tournament, although with a very slight chance and the Indian fans, as always, are optimistic again about India’s chances in the tournament.
For India to advance to the semi-final round from here, a lot of things need to fall in place, including the results of a couple of other matches, but the result against Afghanistan is undoubtedly a great start to get things going again.
India didn’t have the coin fall in their favor again in the game against Afghanistan, and Afghanistan surprisingly decided to bowl. It’s not that surprising a decision for other teams in the tournament, but Afghanistan generally likes to bat first, even with the dew factor. However, to exploit the lack of form of the Indian top order, they went with a different game-plan and it backfired.
India’s opening pair batted more freely against Afghanistan than they batted in the first two games of the T20 World Cup, 2021
Namibia beating New Zealand, New Zealand beating Afghanistan, India beating Sco, Namibia. We move. 😭🤣

Well played rishabh pant,some fools were questioning his place after the second match(whixh is his only failure in this WC), Here's how he replied them.— A. (@pantesque) November 3, 2021
Lots of credit goes to Virat Kohli, he send Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant up the order. He sent Hardik and Rishabh over himself. So Captain Virat Kohli is superb.

Virat Kohli could have come at no 3 in 14th over and could have statpadded easily but decided to promote Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya so that they can get quick runs, Most selfless player!
