With a T20I Series win against Afghanistan, India achieves a big record, surpassing Pakistan in the elite list
On Wednesday, the Indian cricket team made history by completing a 3-0 whitewash in the three-match series against Afghanistan after a hard-fought victory in the third encounter in Bengaluru. The match needed two Super Overs to finally end in India's favor, with Rohit Sharma, Rinku Singh, and Ravi Bishnoi emerging as the top performers. With this series win, India now has nine whitewash series wins in T20I cricket—the most by any country in the shortest format of the sport. India were tied at 8 with Pakistan, but the victory on Wednesday means that the Rohit Sharma-led side claimed the sensational T20I feat.
Team India beat Afghanistan in the third T20 International after two thrilling super overs. Chasing 212, Afghanistan too ended with the same score.
India equalled Afghanistan's score of 16 in the first super over to stretch the match, but the visitors could not chase down a target of 12 in the second super over as Rohit Sharma's side picked up the required two wickets through Ravi Bishnoi.
