NEW DELHI: With an aim to pocket the three-match series, Team India will face Afghanistan in the second Twenty20 International (T20I) at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore on Sunday.
Shivam Dube
scored a belligerent half-century to hand India a six-wicket victory against Afghanistan in the opening T20I in Mohali on Thursday. With this win India took a 1-0 lead in the series.
Left-hander Dube smashed an unbeaten 60 off 40 balls to help India overcome a 159-run target with 15 balls to spare. Electing to field, India restricted Afghanistan to a modest 158-5.
As the team moves to Indore for the second T20I, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a delightful video on Saturday featuring Team India players sharing their favourite things about Indore.
Some players expressed their preference for Indore's iconic dish - Poha, while others highlighted Avesh Khan as the team's most humorous individual, according to the players themselves.
Avesh hails from Indore in Madhya Pradesh.
"Hello everyone, aap sabhi ka swagat hai mere sheher Indore mein (I welcome all of you in my own city Indore)," Avesh, who is the part of the India squad, said in the video.
