India 223-1 (42 ovs) vs Afghanistan | Scorecard

Rahul cuts loose as he gives Mujeeb, his team-mate in the IPL, the charge and hits a beautiful drive through the covers for a four.

Three balls later, he punches it through the gap on the off-side for another four as Mujeeb continues to suffer, having given away 40 runs from his first five overs.

In the next over, Rahul cuts a short ball from Nabi past point for a four followed by a single.

Mujeeb continues as Rahul takes a single to mid-on to take his score to 20. It turns out to be a good over from the young spinner as he gives away just a single in his sixth over.

India are looking on course for a huge total as they reach 216 for on in 40 overs.

The scoreboard continues to tick as Rahul and Vijay pick three singles off Nabi, before the latter reverse sweeps the off-spinner fine on the off-side for a four.
