The Indian cricket team has been quite impressive in the ongoing T20I series against Afghanistan and a win in the final game of the three-match series can earn them a unique distinction in the shortest format of the sport. The Rohit Sharma-led side has already won the series with victory in the first two matches and a win in the third T20I match in Bengaluru will result in a historic whitewash. Till now, both India and Pakistan have the joint most whitewash bilateral series in T20I history (8). However, a win in the third T20I on Wednesday will take India's tally to 9 and they will become the first team ever to achieve that feat.

A video of Australian cricket team stars Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa having a hilarious conversation with a taxi driver is currently going viral on social media. In the video, the taxi driver was heard having a conversation about cricket with the two stars but he failed to recognise the World Cup winners. “Do you know anything about cricket?” Maxwell asked the taxi driver and he replied that it was his favourite sport. However, he had no clue that two Australian cricketers were sitting in his cab and when asked about Maxwell, he even said that he was a "good player". Eventually, he was able to recognise them. According to some social media posts, this video is a few years old.
Young Pakistan fast bowler Abbas Afridi was on Tuesday ruled out of the third T20I while hosts New Zealand lost the services of their captain Kane Williamson for the remainder of the five-match series. The Pakistan team management confirmed in a statement that a low grade abdominal muscle strain to Afridi will keep him out of the third T20I, with a decision on his availability for the remaining two matches to be taken later. “His scan has shown no sign of significant injury, and he will be managed symptomatically. His availability for the last two games will be made at a later stage,” the management statement said.
Pakistan all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed got angry at a fan who called him 'chachu' during the second T20I against New Zealand in Hamilton on Sunday. Notably, Iftikhar's nickname is 'chachu' (uncle) which was given to him by Babar Azam. He has been often referred to as 'chachu' by his teammates and fans of cricket. However, Iftikhar wasn't happy with a fan calling him by the same while he was fielding near the boundary at the Seddon Park. The players asked the fan to not call him 'chachu', to which the fan replied saying that he is a fan of him.
