Along with Yadav, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya were the scorers for the Blue squad with 24, 20 and 32 runs respectively.

India bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav were the standouts of the innings as they took 3,2 and 2 wickets with an economy of 1.75, 8 and 8 respectively. Bumrah has always been the one man who helps when needed with the bowl. 

This venue will host the final of the T20 World Cup. India's hitters performed admirably in upsetting the game's rhythm; they never gave up, even when Afghanistan scored runs quickly. The fact that nobody really came at India's bowlers save Rahmanullah Gurbaz has helped them. This implies that they might establish a rhythm and length and dominate the game.
