India last played a T20I fixture in Bengaluru on January 17, 2024, when they locked horns with Afghanistan in the third and final match of the series.

The hosts had already secured the series victory heading into that final encounter by winning the first two games convincingly.

That memorable contest at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium featured a historic fifth T20I century from Rohit Sharma.

The match escalated into extraordinary drama as it stretched into two successive Super Overs before a result could be determined.

As the current team prepares for a series decider against the West Indies at the same iconic venue, cricketing memories of that dramatic night against Afghanistan continue to resurface.
