India vs Afghanistan: All the drama from double Super Over as Rohit and Co sweep T20 series 3-0

India’s third T20 against Afghanistan, which was a dead-rubber, turned into a massive thriller which the Men in Blue won after two Super Overs. India batted first in the match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and scored 212/4 with Rohit Sharma slamming 121 not out off 69 balls, while Rinku Singh scored 69 not out off 39 balls. In reply, Afghanistan were 167/4 by the 17th over and needed 46 from the last three overs when Gulbadin Naib went berserk.

In the final over, Afghanistan needed 19 more with Mukesh Kumar bowling. The first ball was a wide followed by a four for Naib.

With 14 more needed, Mukesh bowled a dot ball but ended up giving a wide next.

With 11 more needed from four balls, Naib collected a double followed by a six over mid-off.

The equations was just five form last two balls and Naib took couple of twos to tie the match as he finished on 55 not out off 23.

With Afghanistan batting second, they were first to bat in the first Super Over.
