Why did Team India lag behind despite scoring 402 runs?
India’s score of 402 runs is considered very high in any ODI match, but in the last few years many teams have scored between 430 to 498 runs. This is the reason why despite scoring 402 runs against Afghanistan, Team India could not make it to the list of top-10 highest scores in ODI history. Nevertheless, this score reflects the strong batting and excellent form of the Indian team, especially when batsmen like Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan are consistently playing big innings.
