In a dazzling display at Indore's Holkar Stadium, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube showcased their prowess, steering India to a commanding six-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the second T20I. Jaiswal's impressive 68 off 34 balls and Dube's powerful 63* off 32 balls secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, overshadowing the low scores of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Jaiswal, vying for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad, demonstrated remarkable form, vindicating the decision to include him. Despite his lean physique, Jaiswal's boundary-hitting prowess was on full display, with a series of well-executed shots against both pacers and spinners. Dube joined the spectacle, notably smashing three consecutive sixes off Mohammad Nabi during a crucial partnership.

The Afghan team, buoyed by Gulbadin Naib's impactful 57, set a formidable total of 172, their highest against India in T20Is. Axar Patel played a crucial role in breaking Naib's onslaught, delivering a breakthrough by mistiming his heave.

This dynamic performance by India's young guns signals a promising future, showcasing their ability to shoulder responsibilities in high-stakes events. The victory, guided by the youngsters, underscores the depth and potential of India's T20 squad under the mentorship of coach Rahul Dravid.
