India on Wednesday recorded the highest team total so far in the T20 World Cup 2021 with a 210/2 finish against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.
After being sent into bat on the back of two losses in the Super 12 stage against Pakistan and New Zealand, Indian openers Rohit Sharma (74) and KL Rahul (69) flayed the Afghanistan attack before late cameos from Rishabh Pant (27*) and Hardik Pandya (35*)powered the side past the 200-run mark.
