Once west indies

T20 World Cup: Umesh Patwal, the former Afghanistan batting coach, has warned India to be really careful when facing the Rashid Khan-led side in the Super Eight clash of T20 World Cup at Barbados on Thursday, citing their ability to upstage big teams in global white-ball tournaments.

India have met Afghanistan eight times in men’s T20Is and have never lost to them in the format. The last time they met, India and Afghanistan were left tied at 212 each at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru this year and played out two Super Overs before the Rohit Sharma-led side eventually prevailed.

"India will have to be really careful because Afghanistan have really shown what they can do to England and other big teams in last year’s ODI World Cup. I think the only team they haven't beaten till now is India, so that would be next on their mind. I had predicted they would beat some big teams, and they did that.
