The dinner took place after India’s seven-wicket win over Afghanistan in the second T20I at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, September 15. Team India, led by Shreyas Iyer, took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Kishan scored an unbeaten 38 runs off 23 balls during the 160-run chase.
“It is always enjoyable playing against them (Afghanistan) because many of us have also played together in the IPL, and we know what wonderful human beings they are,” Ishan Kishan said.

Ishan Kishan Praises Afghanistan’s Hunger and Determination
Ishan Kishan also praised Afghanistan’s competitive approach and their desire to make an impact in every game. He stated that their energy in the field and their constant search for wickets make them a difficult team to face.
The wicketkeeper-batter’s comments reflected the mutual respect between the two teams. Several players from India and Afghanistan have shared dressing rooms in the IPL, creating friendships that continue when they meet in international cricket.
Team India Seal T20I Series With Seven-Wicket Win in Delhi
Arshdeep Singh claimed 2/35, while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi took one wicket each. India then chased down the 160-run target in just 14.5 overs to win by seven wickets and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
With the series already secured, India could make a few changes for the final T20I. The middle-order batters have had limited opportunities because of the aggressive starts from the top order, while players on the bench could get a chance before India’s upcoming international assignments.
