Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most skillful bowlers in world cricket while Virat Kohli along with his masterful batting, is one of the finest fielders in the world. So, whenever, these two combine, we can expect them to produce positive results for India and that was exactly what was on display during the game against Afghanistan. Both of them combined to get rid of one of Afghanistan's most dangerous batters, Najibullah Zadran.

Talking about the wicket of Najibullah Zadran, it was a fullish slower delivery at 117.2 kph, around off. An off-cutter actually and Zadran tried to loft it over extra cover. However, he ended up playing it a bit early and sliced it towards deep point, where Virat Kohli took a good running catch.

It was the 46th over of Afghanistan's innings and in the same over, Bumrah got rid of Nabi as well and Afghans managed to score 272 in their allotted 50 overs. This is their highest World Cup score against India and second-highest in World Cups overall. India have a competitive total to chase now and would have to bat well against a quality Afghan bowling line-up.
