India have been in stunning form in the T20I series against Afghanistan. As they gear up for a 3-0 whitewash, India are also eyeing a major record in the shortest format of the game.
India and Pakistan jointly hold the record for most T20I series whitewashes. A victory over Afghanistan will take India past Pakistan.
India and Pakistan have both whitewashed their opponents in 8 T20I series and now, India are on the verge of taking this number to 9.
Having already sealed the series, India aims to fine-tune their T20 approach in the final game, crucially led by Rohit Sharma’s batting prowess. This match holds significance as it serves as India’s final T20 encounter before the upcoming World Cup in June, urging the team to maintain the high level of intensity displayed in victories at Mohali and Indore.
India’s victories in the series featured an ultra-aggressive mindset from the outset, exemplified by chasing down 159 in 17.3 overs and 173 in 15.4 overs in consecutive matches.
This departure from their previous strategy of building momentum for a final flourish in T20s was exemplified by standout performances from players like Shivam Dube and the returning Virat Kohli, who made a remarkable impact with a 16-ball 29 at a strike rate of 181 in his T20I comeback after 14 months.
