The Two Super Overs!

Rohit Sharma's Massive Century

 
After registering two ducks in the first 2 IND vs AFG T20Is, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma smashed an unbeaten 121 off just 64 balls against Afghanistan in the third and final match of the three-match series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17. He also became the first player in history to score five centuries in T20 internationals. India endured their worst Powerplay outing of the series as the side lost four wickets – including star batter Virat Kohli and Sanju Samson for a duck. However, Rohit showed great resilience as he took on the challenge, steering the innings alongside Rinku Singh (69*), who also showed his range outside of being a finisher.
 

Virat Kohli's Unbelievable Save!

 
A sheer brilliance was witnessed in IND vs AFG 3rd T20I when Virat Kohli showcased a superhuman effort to prevent what appeared to be a certain six on the boundary line during Afghanistan's chase. It played a key role in the match ending in a tie.

In the 17th over, Karim Janat attempted a big shot towards the long-on boundary against off-spinner Washington Sundar but Kohli saved it from crossing the ropes. Realising he couldn't catch the ball, Kohli swiftly flicked the ball into play before touching the boundary ropes. His exceptional effort saved five assured runs for the team, leaving fans and fellow Indian players in the dugout in awe.
