Team India managed to score 181/8 in the first innings of their first Super 8 match in the 2024 T20 World Cup against Afghanistan on Thursday (June 20). The Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, is hosting the clash.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first in the contest. Rohit and Virat Kohli started watchfully on the slow pitch as they struggled for timing. After a sedate knock of 8 (13), Sharma perished in the third over, trying to hit his way out of the rut.
Rishabh Pant (20) came in and injected momentum into the innings with his cameo. However, both Pant and Virat Kohli departed in quick succession after the powerplay, leaving India in a spot of bother at 62/3. Shivam Dube also perished soon after hitting a six.
Suryakumar Yadav (53) and Hardik Pandya (32) played aggressively and put on a 60-run partnership for the fifth wicket to set the platform for India to reach a decent total. After their dismissals, Axar Patel (12*) provided the finishing touches with a handy cameo. Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi scalped three wickets apiece for Afghanistan in the bowling department.

During the mid-innings break, Indian middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav reflected on the action that unfolded in the first innings and his knock, saying:
"I enjoyed batting in the phase between 7-15. That's a very difficult phase and I tried to take charge. I started chewing the game even harder after he (Kohli) got out. I know how to bat on this phase. With the left-hander coming in, it made my job easier."
On playing under Rohit Sharma's captaincy, Surya added:
"It's a motivation and I played a lot cricket under him. He understands my game really well and even when there is ups and downs, he doesn't tell me anything because he understands my game really well. He just sits back and enjoys."
He concluded:
"It's a very good total and let's see what happens."
