IND Vs AFG Live: Rohit Sharma’s stormy style in the second ODI, but the hitman’s bat stopped even before his half-century.
IND vs AFG Live: In the second ODI being played between India and Afghanistan at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, opener Rohit Sharma once again entertained the fans with his aggressive style. Rohit, who was returning to ODI cricket after a long time, put pressure on the Afghan bowlers from the very beginning and scored fast runs, but he missed his half-century.
Let us tell you that in the last match, Rohit, who was the victim of an unfortunate run out on a personal score of 16 runs, responded with his bat this time and took the Afghan bowlers to task.
India lost the toss and batted first. The initial blow to the team came in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was out after scoring only 4 runs. After this, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill took charge of the innings and scored runs rapidly.
Rohit played an attractive inning of 48 runs in 39 balls. During this, 6 fours and 2 brilliant sixes came from his bat. But he was clean bowled by Afghanistan’s star all-rounder Rashid Khan on the first ball of the 14th over. Batting at a strike rate of 123.08, he openly targeted the Afghan bowlers. However, just when it seemed that the Hitmen were heading towards a big innings, his wicket fell and he could not reach his half-century.
On the other hand, team captain Shubhman Gill also looked in great form. He kept the scoreboard moving forward by scoring runs at a fast pace. By the time the news was written and Rohit was out, Gill had scored 42 runs. Despite the initial setback, the Indian batsmen played positive cricket and tried to put the team in a strong position.
This inning of Rohit once again proved that he is one of the most dangerous batsmen of India in limited overs cricket. Although the fans expected that he would convert his good start into a big innings, but it could not happen.
By the end of 15 overs, the Indian team has scored 102 runs at the loss of 2 wickets. Captain Shubhman Gill is looking in great form and has reached his half-century by scoring 45 runs in 35 balls, while Ishan Kishan is supporting him by scoring 3 runs in 7 balls. After the initial two setbacks, both the batsmen are trying to take India to a strong position while handling the innings.
