India once again outperformed Afghanistan, clinching the three-match T20 series with a decisive seven-wicket victory on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in New Delhi. Jasprit Bumrah, who made his debut with a maiden over, showcased his mastery with the new ball, complemented by Arshdeep Singh's impressive performance in his first over, removing opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz.
The all-rounder Shivam Dube had a blemish with a lone over of 13 runs. Bumrah, now only the sixth Indian to reach a hundred T20I caps, combined with Arshdeep, contributing to a collective effort. Indian batsman Sanju Samson, who had previously been struggling, posted a half-century and was instrumental in India's chase of 159, a score India defended with 31 deliveries to spare.
This victory marked India's second consecutive triumph in the T20 format, with Sanju Samson now in fierce competition for his role.
