Rohit Sharma is going to create history, 37 years old ‘grand-record’ will be broken in the first ODI against Afghanistan

The three-match ODI series between India and Afghanistan is going to start from June 13. The first match of the series will be played at the beautiful Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Before this series, the big good news for Indian fans is that former captain Rohit Sharma has been declared completely fit to play. As soon as he steps on the Dharamshala ground, a historical record will be registered in Rohit Sharma’s name, which no Indian player has been able to touch till date.

Mohinder Amarnath’s 37 year old record is about to be broken
If Rohit Sharma plays the first ODI against Afghanistan, he will become the oldest player to play ODI cricket for India. In this matter, he will break the 37 year old record of veteran Mohinder Amarnath. Amarnath played his last ODI at the age of 39 years and 36 days, while Rohit will be 39 years and 44 days old when he takes the field on June 13. By the way, the overall record of the oldest ODI player in the world is in the name of Nolan Clarke of Netherlands (47 years 257 days).

Virat-Hardik out due to injury, Yashasvi’s entry
In this series, the Indian team will have to take the field without its two big stars Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. Virat Kohli is currently struggling with a hamstring injury, while Hardik Pandya has a niggle (mild injury) on his left leg. In the absence of Virat, young sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal has been included in the team. In such a situation, the responsibility on Rohit Sharma as a senior player will increase significantly.

Rohit’s strong record against Afghanistan
Rohit Sharma’s ODI record against Afghanistan has been very excellent. In the 3 matches played so far against Afghanistan, he has scored 150 runs at an average of 75 and a strike rate of 127, which also includes a brilliant century. Rohit’s bat was quiet against New Zealand earlier this year, but fans will hope that he will once again play a big innings against Afghanistan in this historic match.
