IND vs AFG: Gill, Kohli share a light moment as Dube drives India home

Shivam Dube's stocks have been at an all-time high after his recent T20I success. The Mumbai batter also credited his rise to his IPL franchise and skipper MS Dhoni. In his most recent outing for India, Dube scored an unbeaten 63. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Arshdeep Singh shared a light moment when Dube drove India home trying to flick an inswinger which thudded onto his pad for a leg bye

Axar Patel adjudged POTM

"Feels good, I just realised that I have got 200 T20 wickets. But what is important to keep doing well for India, honestly a few years later I won't remember how many wickets I took. I have been trying to bowl a bit slower, vary my lengths and now I have been to gauge these things better. Now I have the confidence to bowl at all times, even in the powerplay. You need to be mentally prepared as a bowler in T20 cricket. Ready to concede a six because that same ball could get you a wicket on another day. Earlier, I used to vary my plans if a batter was hitting me, but now I stick to my plans and make the batters take the chance against me," Axar said.

Winning skipper Rohit Sharma said:

"It is a great feeling, it has been a long journey starting way back in 2007. I've cherished every moment I have spent here. We have been clear with what we wanted to do, very clear message to everyone and when you see a performance like that, you can be really proud. One thing is talking about it, but to actually go there and play that way is a proud feeling. The last two games, we've ticked a lot of boxes. They've had a great couple of years, Jaiswal has played Test cricket now and even T20I. He has shown what he is capable of. He has the talent and has a great range of shots. Dube is a big guy, very powerful and can take on the spinners. That is his role and he has come out and played two crucial innings for us," Rohit said.

Losing skipper Ibrahim Zadran said:

"We were quite short. We had a good start but not very good after that. Sometimes we play well in the powerplay, sometimes in the middle and sometimes at the death. We need to build the momentum throughout and not repeat mistakes to have a good T20 World Cup. (On Gulbadin Naib) He's the most senior guy, we trust him and when he played a few shots in the powerplay, we wanted him to take that momentum throughout the innings," Zadran said.
