Arshdeep strikes at crucial moments<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Jasprit Bumrah<\/a> bowled some sharp deliveries, but Arshdeep stole the show with his 3\/19 as India kept Afghanistan under pressure for most of the innings.The two spinners, Varun Chakravarthy (1\/16 in 4 overs) and Axar Patel (1\/27 in 4 overs), controlled the game during the first 10 overs.Bumrah (1\/26 in 4 overs) also bowled at full tilt and sent down 16 dot balls. He removed former Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz for a duck after the ball kicked up and Gurbaz edged it to Abhishek Sharma, who took a smart low catch at first slip.Arshdeep used variations and changes of pace to make breakthroughs at important moments.<\/p>\n
