However, Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib put up a sensational fightback that pegged back the Indians. Nabi fell for 34 off 16, thus ending a 56-run stand between him and Gulbadin that came in just 22 balls. However, Gulbadin carried on as wickets fell at the other end.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh first took India out of a disastrous situation and then completely turned the tables on Afghanistan to help the post a total of 212/4 in 20 overs. India were left reeling early on as Afghanistan's Fareed Ahmed and Azmatullah Omarzai descended down on them on a Chinnaswamy pitch that seemed to take the batters by surprise. India lost four wickets in the powerplay, three of which were picked by Fareed alone. Two of those wickets - those of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, came off back to back deliveries, with the latter falling for a golden duck. Sanju Samson, brought in for Jitesh Sharma in this match, also fell for a golden duck while Shivam Dube, who scored unbeaten half-centuries in both the previous matches, fell for one.
The pair weathered the storm and then switched gears after the 10th over. Rohit eventually got to a gritty half-century as he and Rinku took India past the 100-run mark. They unleashed carnage in the death overs, creaming 103 runs off the last five overs. In the process, Rohit scored his fifth T20I century and India smashed 36 runs off the last over. Rohit finished on 121 off 69 balls with 11 fours and eight sixes. Rinku Singh on 69 off 39 with two fours and six sixes. The partnership between the two was unbeaten on 190 off 95 balls.

What a performance this has been from the visitors. They had to chase a target of 213, seemed down and out in their innings and then managed to fight back to tie the scores.

India vs Afghanistan Live Score, IND vs AFG 3rd T20I: Now some controversy here. Of course there is controversy here, how can this match ever stop being dramatic, eh? Mukesh misses the wide yorker, the batters run a bye but then proceed to run two more after Samson's throw ricochets off Nabi's legs. Rohit is fuming, he has a few words with Nabi, Kohli was the player backing up and he had stopped after seeing that the ball hit Nabi, thinking Afghanistan wouldn't have run there. Nabi didn't change direction and so it was not intentional. This is a spirit of cricket debate more than anything else, Nabi feels there was nothing wrong in what he did, Rohit and the rest of the Indian players feel Afghanistan got two runs they didn't deserve. Who knows who is right, although you can argue that the rules don't stop Afghanistan from running. Bottom line is, India need to score 17 runs to win this match.
