The left-hander picked up two runs before smashing a boundary through the off side. Omarzai then lost control of the over, bowling wides and overstepping twice to concede two no-balls.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Jaiswal made full use of the free-hit opportunities. He struck a boundary over long-off and followed it up with another four straight past mid-off. A mistimed pull that was caught at mid-wicket did not count because it came off a no-ball.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The over ended with Jaiswal cutting another short delivery for four, taking India&#8217;s tally to 23 runs after just six legal deliveries.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Earlier, Afghanistan recovered from a disastrous start to post 218 all out.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Prasidh Krishna was India&#8217;s star with the ball, producing a career-best spell of 5\/23. The fast bowler ripped through the Afghan top order, reducing them to 36\/4 inside the first 10 overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Afghanistan captain Shahidi then led the fightback with a determined 102 off 131 balls, his maiden ODI century. He shared a 105-run partnership with Omarzai, who made 50, and later added 57 runs with Mohammad Nabi.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Despite Shahidi&#8217;s efforts, Afghanistan lost their last five wickets for just 20 runs and were bowled out for 218.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-vs-afghanistan\/india-break-22-year-old-odi-record-in-just-6-balls-against-afghanistan\/articleshow\/131877743.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal (BCCI Photo) NEW DELHI: India made a stunning start to their chase against Afghanistan in the third ODI at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday, scoring a record 23 runs in the very first over.Chasing 219 for victory, India began their innings at 5\/0 after Afghanistan were penalised [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24267","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
