In the third ODI of India’s series against Afghanistan in Chennai, India’s pace duo Prasidh Krishna and Rohit Sharma deliver a dominant spell that dismantles Afghanistan’s top order early. Afghanistan win the toss and choose to bat first, but Prasidh strikes immediately, dismissing opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz with his first ball. During the powerplay, he continues to take wickets in quick succession, reducing Afghanistan’s top order and leaving the visitors searching for stability far earlier than expected.

Rohit’s fielding at first slip plays a key role as he takes three catches off Prasidh’s bowling, completing a rare ODI hat-trick of catches in the innings. Multiple reports describe Rohit holding chances as Prasidh removes batters in the opening phase, with the pair combining repeatedly to convert opportunities into dismissals.

Overall, Prasidh finishes with five wickets in the match, while India’s early breakthroughs give them strong control of the contest ahead of the series finale.
