“Rohit Sharma Is Finished”, fans brutally troll the Indian Captain for consecutive duck against Afghanistan in the 2nd T20I.
India and Afghanistan clashed in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on January 14, 2024. India, leading the series 1-0 following a triumph in Mohali, had Rohit Sharma winning the toss and opting to field. Notable changes saw Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli replacing Shubman Gill and Tilak Varma in the XI.
Despite Afghanistan losing openers early, Gulbadin Naib’s resilient 57 off 35 balls, featuring 5 fours and 4 sixes, laid a strong foundation. Contributions from Najibullah Zadran (23), Karim Janat (20), and Mujeeb Ur Rahman (21) propelled Afghanistan to a total of 172 in 20 overs. Akshar Patel shone for India, claiming 2/17 in 4 overs, while Arshdeep Singh secured 3/32.
India’s response faced an early setback as Captain Rohit Sharma suffered a golden duck attempting a big shot against Fazalhaq Farooqi in the first over. Farooqi’s delivery on middle and off-stump found the target, hitting the off-stump as Rohit backed away to play his shot.
