India vs Afghanistan Match 5, Asia Cup 2018 Super Four: Afghanistan opener Mohammed Shahzad breezed to 50 off 36 balls to give Afghanistan the start they were after they won the toss and opted to bat first in the Asia Cup Super Four match. Even before the game started, the buzz had begun when fans saw MS Dhoni walk out for the toss instead of Rohit Sharma. It is the 200th time that MS Dhoni is leading India.

But, Shahzad’s breezy knock seems to have overshadowed MS Dhoni. A keeper himself, Shahzad idolises MS Dhoni as well.
Here is what the noise is on Twitter.
Mohammad Shahzad idolises MSD. And look what an innings he is playing in the match MS Dhoni returns to as a captain.
He is making the Indian bowlers look ordinary. And the field a flat track. #INDvAFG https://t.co/Ls1IunWZ5J
