India has now jointly reached number 1 in the world with South Africa in terms of scoring 400 or more in ODI cricket 8 times.

Afghan bowlers flew in the storm of Gill and Ishan

The Indian team did not have a good start and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal returned to the pavilion early. After this, captain Rohit Sharma gave good support to Shubman Gill. After Rohit’s dismissal, Ishan Kishan, who came to the crease along with captain Gill, took remand of the Afghan bowlers. Together they made a very fast and explosive partnership of 224 runs for the second wicket. Seeing the strong batting of Gill and Ishaan, it seemed at one time that Team India would cross the 450 mark.

Spinners made a comeback in the last overs

The Indian team had scored 340 runs on the scoreboard in just 40 overs. However, having an old bat and an old ball, Afghanistan’s spinners made a slight comeback in the match. Star spinner Rashid Khan, returning after injury, took some important wickets, while Nangeyalia Kharote bowled brilliantly and dismissed 4 Indian batsmen. The slow start of Shreyas Iyer and Washington Sundar in the middle order was a bit surprising.

Teams that have scored 400+ runs most times in ODI cricket

After scoring a mountain of runs in this great match, now the record of scoring more than 400 runs in ODI history has been registered in the name of India and South Africa (8-8 times). In this list, the England team is at second place with 7 runs, whereas the Australian team has touched the figure of 400 runs in ODI only 3 times. India has made such a strong position in the match that now Afghanistan will have to perform a big miracle to win from here.
