Asia Cup 2022 5 records that were broken during India s big win against Afghanistan

By Vinay Chhabria Modified 09 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share India crushed Afghanistan in Dubai on Thursday. (Image: Getty) India ended their Asia Cup 2022 campaign on a winning note. The Men in Blue crushed Afghanistan by 101 runs to finish third in the Super 4 points table. Rohit Sharma decided to rest himself for the match against Afghanistan in Dubai on Thursday night. In his absence, KL Rahul led the Indian T20I team for the first time. Hardik Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal were also rested for this fixture. Fans expected Afghanistan to give India a run for their money, especially after the way they almost pulled off a win against Pakistan on Wednesday night. However, the Mohammad Nabi-led outfit had an off-day in the office. Almost all Afghanistan players failed to make an impact as India cruised to victory. Virat Kohli and Bhuvneshwar Kumar were the two heroes for India. Kohli stole the show with a fantastic ton in the first innings, while Bhuvneshwar bowled a dream spell to bag five wickets in the second innings. On that note, here's a look at the top five records broken by India during their win against Afghanistan.

#1 Bhuvneshwar Kumar etched his name in history books

Shadab Khan held the record for the best bowling figures with 4/8 against Hong Kong in 2022. Bhuvneshwar Kumar made history on Thursday night with his spell of 5/4 against Afghanistan.

#2 Virat Kohli broke Mohammad Shahzad s 6-year-old record

Virat Kohli broke his record with his unbeaten knock of 122. Kohli now owns the record for the highest individual score in a T20I in the UAE.
