The heaviest shower that this city has seen in the last 10 days came down two hours too late for the beleaguered Afghanistan team. In fact two is perhaps the most hated word in Afghanistan now. Two Indian openers scored tons, Afghanistan were bowled out twice on the same day, and the Test itself, their inaugural Test at that, was over in
two days.

109 all out in the first innings that lasted a mere 27.5 overs and 103 all out in 38.4 overs after being asked to follow on, meant they had lost by an innings and 262 runs. Credit though must be given where it's due. India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane had said before the Test that his side wouldn't allow the occasion to make them soft, he had promised to be ruthless.
