India and Afghanistan clashed for their final games in Asia Cup 2018 and the game was worth watching. It might be a dead-rubber but game was surely an interesting one. The result came out from the match was even more surprising. Ravi Shastri might be wondering 'all three results are possible' in the dressing room and it really was, considering the quick shift in the momentum of the game.
In last two overs, India needed 13 off 12 with Ravindra Jadeja still at the crease. India had three wickets and an eight or seven-run over would have done it for India. However, it was Afghanistan who turned things dramatically with two run-outs.
India was left with just one wicket for the last over, needing seven more to win a six to tie. Eyes were on Jadeja and he didn't disappoint, refusing single off the first ball, he struck a four on second. The ball landed inside boundary for a centimeter or it would have been the game there. Jadeja took a risk to rotate the strike with India still needing 2 off 4 balls. But the number 11th batsman Khaleel Ahmed somehow managed to take a single.
Everyone was convinced that it's India's game with 1 needed off 2 until Jadeja decided to make both the teams happy by playing a lofted shot straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket.
While Rashid Khan was in joy and Indian dressing room in shock, a young Indian kid couldn't control it and burst into tears. The picture went viral on Twitter and everyone, including cricketer Harbhajan Singh.
Harbhajan consoled the fan and wrote, "Koi na putt Rona Nahi hai final aapa jittange ????????????????????."
