India have dominated the three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, winning the first two games by identical seven-wicket margins at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The series was clinched in the second match on September 15, 2026, thanks to a blistering 22-ball 57 from Sanju Samson. The third and final T20I, played on September 17, sees Afghanistan winning the toss and opting to bowl, as India look to experiment with their lineup ahead of the Asian Games.

India are one win away from completing a full whitewash over Afghanistan in 2026, and the third T20I at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday offers them that chance. Having already swept Afghanistan 3-0 in the ODI series back in June, India are firmly on course to repeat the feat in the shortest format. The second T20I made that very clear: Sanju Samson blasted 57 off just 22 balls to set the tone, Abhishek Sharma continued his consistent run at the top, and Ishan Kishan finished the job with an unbeaten 38. Beyond the runs, Sanju Samson's post-match press conference revealed a mindset that has become his invisible muscle—a lesson in handling competition and prioritizing team success.
