T20 World Cup: Afghanistan were not comfortable against R Ashwin’s 'back-flip' ball, says Sachin Tendulkar

Batting great Sachin Tendulkar says Afghanistan had no answer to Ravichandran Ashwin's 'back-flip' ball during India's must-win T20 World Cup match in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. India defeated Afghanistan by 66 runs.

Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who had impressive figures of 2 for 14 on his white-ball comeback, helped India beat Afghanistan by 66 runs in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

"Talking about our bowling, we saw Ashwin after a long, long time and what he was able to execute was superb," Tendulkar said in his analysis of India's victory.
