In a nail-biting encounter between India and Afghanistan played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday, in the 3rd T20I match, India registered the final laugh after the thrilling contest that not only went into one super over but two, with India emerging victorious by 10 runs in the second super over.

Continuing to bat in the second super over, India scored 11-2 with Rohit Sharma hammering 11 all alone.
