India bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was on a roll against Afghanistan after he returned with a record-breaking figures of 5/4 in 4 overs in the Asia Cup 2022 fixture of Super 4 stage. Chasing a mammoth 213 in 20 overs, Afghanistan were off to a dismal start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar rattled the top order removing Hazratullah Zazai, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Karim Janat and Najibullah Zadran in quick succession to reduce the Afghan team to 9/4.

Later, Arshdeep Singh got into the act as he sent Nabi back in the hut to hand India the fifth wicket while Bhuvneshwar completed his five-wicket haul with the dismissal of Azmatullah Omarzai who was caught by Dinesh Karthik.
