One-off Test: All-round India Dominate Afghanistan To Script Biggest Test Victory (Ld)
Mohammad Saleem Safi: India completed their most dominant Test victory by margin on Sunday, crushing Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs inside three days after a commanding all-round performance spearheaded by centuries from Shubman Gill and KL Rahul and a match-winning bowling effort from debutant left-arm spinner Manav Suthar.
Having piled up a mammoth 564/8 before declaring their first innings, India bundled Afghanistan out for 152 and then 112 after enforcing the follow-on, surpassing their previous biggest Test victory and underlining their dominance.
The foundation for the victory was laid by India's top order after Afghanistan opted to bowl. Rahul produced a typically assured innings of 100 from 165 deliveries, weathering the early movement before taking complete control of the contest. Alongside him, captain Gill once again showcased his growing stature in Test cricket with a majestic 126 off 177 balls, striking 15 fours and a six in an innings that blended authority with elegance.
