He managed to grab the ball, flick it back inside the boundary ropes while airborne, re-entered the field, and comfortably secured the catch once more. This brilliant fielding moment accounted for both of Afghanistan&#8217;s openers, with Hardik Pandya also making a breakthrough as Gurbaz departed after scoring 21 from 28 deliveries.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/11kohli-celebrate.jpg?w=670&#038;h=900\"><\/p>\n<p>Shardul continued after the drinks break, and there was a massive appeal on the first ball! It was given out, but Rahmat decided to take the review. It was confirmed that the ball had pitched outside, and the decision stayed with the umpire&#8217;s call. Rahmat departed after scoring 16 from 22 deliveries, giving Shardul his first wicket as Afghanistan lost their third. At the end of 15 overs, Afghanistan had reached 70\/3.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/im.rediff.com\/cricket\/2023\/oct\/11bumrah.jpg?w=670&#038;h=900\"><\/p>\n<p>Jasprit Bumrah initiated the sequence of wickets by dismissing Ibrahim Zadran.
