Today had been a Hitman show in Delhi. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma annihilated Afghanistan’s bowling attack, laying the groundwork for his team’s win. While chasing 273, Rohit attacked the Afghan bowlers from the start and blasted a quick century in 63 balls.
Rohit’s early attack seriously harmed Afghanistan’s chances early on. His opening partner, Ishan Kishan, offered solid assistance, and the two put on an outstanding 156-run partnership for the first wicket. After Kishan left, Rohit proceeded to scorch the field with Virat Kohli. It wasn’t until the 26th over that Rashid Khan was finally able to dismiss him. By that moment, India had firmly put itself in a favorable position to achieve its goal.
Rohit also bought some of the following records in his name, with a series of remarkable power play in this match.
