India clinched the three-match T20I series after a six-wicket win over the visitors on Sunday (Jan 14). They will now square off in the third T20I at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17.

Afghanistan set a formidable target of 173 runs, with notable contributions from Gulbadin, who scored 57 off 35 balls, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, adding 21 runs off 9 balls in the lower order.

However, Yashasvi Jaiswal's 68, Virat Kohli's 29, and Shivam Dube's unbeaten 63 made the chase appear effortless for the Indian team, as they successfully reached the target in just 15.4 overs.

After a hiatus of 15 months from T20Is, Virat Kohli delivered an impressive cameo in Indore, scoring 29 runs off 16 balls.

Kohli’s affinity for batting at Chinnaswamy Stadium is evident, boasting a solid average of 29.00 in five T20Is, featuring an unbeaten half-century. In the IPL 2023, his performance at the same venue was stellar, as he showcased his brilliance with four half-centuries and a century.

Considering his recent form and notable records at this venue, he will be a top-notch choice for the captain/vice-captain of your IND vs AFG Dream11 team.

Shivam Dube is a must-have for the captain or vice-captain of your IND vs AFG Dream11 team.

With two back-to-back unbeaten half-centuries, he has established himself as the top scorer (123) for India in this T20I series. He has also bowled well chipping in a couple of wickets, making him a versatile all-rounder option.

Dube’s ability to contribute significantly with both bat and ball makes him a valuable asset for the Indian team.
