LIVE Score IND vs AFG Cricket World Cup 2023: Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi
"We had in mind that India's batting line up is long, 300 was on our mind but unfortunately we lost too many wickets. The surface was good. We wanted to score more runs and put pressure on the opposition. Back-to-back wickets was the reason we didn't score more runs. After losing 3 wickets I was talking to Azmatullah - Don't worry about dots, we will convert later. Our aim was to build a partnership. We have seven more games, looking forward to those games. Hopefully we learn from our mistakes and we will work on it."
LIVE Score IND vs AFG Cricket World Cup 2023: Rohit Sharma After Winning Player of the Match
"It was a good pitch to bat on, just backed myself to play my natural game. I knew once I got my eye in, the wicket was going to get easier for me. Something that I have been working on from a long time. It's a special feeling to get a World Cup hundred. Really happy with that. Don't want to think too much (scoring 7 hundreds in just three World Cups), I don't want to lose my focus. You need to make such things count. You gotta make it big. Some of it (the shots he plays) is premeditated. I let my instincts take over at times, sometimes it really works well. It's my job to make sure to get those starts especially in run chases. That's something I have done in the past and something I love doing. Sometimes it (attacking the bowlers) works, sometimes it doesn't. Just need to keep doing it and keep putting oppositions under pressure going forward."

Afghanistan, choosing to bat on this batting paradise, were content, while Rohit was confident due to the dew factor. The trio of Bumrah, Hardik, and Shardul initiated brilliantly, putting the hosts on the right track.

The turning point came when Hardik bowled a mesmerizing slower ball to dismiss Azmatullah, disrupting their momentum. Following this, Afghanistan's engine sputtered, and they couldn't surge past 300, leaving India to sail to victory with ease. The leisurely contributions from Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer likely brought satisfaction to the team's management.
