In their third match of the Super 4 stage against Afghanistan on Thursday, India's openers Virat Kohli and KL Rahul registered half-centuries.
Showing their intent from the beginning of the match the opening duo started with their new-found aggressive approach and hammered Afghanistan's bowling attack.
While Virat Kohli smashed his 33rd T20I fifty in just 32 deliveries, KL Rahul smashed a boundary and scored a brilliant fifty off 36 balls.
However, KL was dismissed by Farid Ahmad at a score of 62.
The men in blue would look to redeem themselves in the match after disappointing and potentially fatal losses to Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
India is out of the Asia Cup. But holding in mind the T20 World Cup and the upcoming series against Australia and South Africa, the Rohit Sharma- led team would want to iron out any flaws.
Earlier in the match, Afghanistan won the toss and opted to bowl.
