Not only this, Rohit Sharma's team is also on the verge of breaking a record made in 2022.

 

All 10 wickets of Afghanistan fell as caught out

All the wickets of Afghanistan fell as caught out. This is only the second time in the T20 World Cup that 10 wickets of a team have fallen as caught out. The first time also this happened against Afghanistan. In the 2022 T20 World Cup, England caught out all 10 players of Afghanistan in Perth and sent them to the pavilion. Now India is the second team to do so after England. Afghanistan batsmen had no answer to the Indian bowlers in Bridgetown.

 

Team India's eighth consecutive T20 win

 

At the same time, this is Team India's eighth consecutive win in T20. This winning streak of India has been going on since December 2023. In T20 Internationals, the Indian team has won the most matches consecutively between November 2021 and February 2022. During this, Team India had won 12 T20 matches in a row. At the same time, between January 2020 and December 2020, the Indian team had won nine consecutive T20 matches. If Rohit Sharma wins the next two matches, he will leave nine matches behind. At the same time, if the Indian team manages to win the final as well, then it will also equal the record of winning 12 matches in a row.
