2nd ODI: Gill's 154, Kishan's 125 Propel India To 402 Against Afghanistan
Ekana Cricket Stadium: India rode on magnificent centuries from captain Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan before surviving a late collapse to post a daunting 402/10 in 49.5 overs against Afghanistan in the second ODI here at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
After opting to bat, India endured a cautious start as Afghanistan surprised everyone by opening with off-spinner AM Ghazanfar. Yashasvi Jaiswal struggled to break free before falling early, while Rohit Sharma looked fluent in patches, leaving the hosts at 80/1 inside the first powerplay.
Rohit started brilliantly, but was dismissed at 48, just a couple of runs shy of a well-deserved half-century. From there, Gill and Kishan produced a breathtaking counterattack that completely wrested control of the contest. Gill anchored the innings with trademark elegance while Kishan unleashed a barrage of boundaries and sixes, punishing anything short or overpitched as Afghanistan's attack wilted under relentless pressure.
