Contextually, India’s last international outing in this format before the T20 World Cup in North America in June doesn’t hold a lot of import. The hosts are sitting on an unbeatable 2-0 ahead of the final T20I against Afghanistan on Wednesday, courtesy identical six-wicket wins in in freezing Mohali and Indore. But that will not impact the intensity with which Rohit Sharma’s men will approach the contest.
No Rashid, no pluck
Minus the recuperating Rashid Khan, Afghanistan have been outclassed in the first bilateral T20I series between the sides. Their batting has fired in fits and starts and the bowling has been systematically dismantled by Shivam Dube in both games and by Yashasvi Jaiswal three nights back in Indore. With two Mumbaikars having had their time under the lights, a third, yet to get off the mark in this series, will look to stamp his authority.
