Stormy half-centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube propelled India to a dominant six-wicket win over Afghanistan in their second T20 International in Indore on Sunday, sealing a 2-0 victory for the hosts in the three-match series.
IND vs AFG Live Cricket Score 2nd T20I: Yashasvi Jaiswal is firing in all cylinders for two-down India in the chase of 173 runs against Afghanistan in Indore. He has been joined by Shivam Dube after India lost the wicket of Virat Kohli, who scored 29 runs off 16 balls.
India captain Rohit Sharma has had a horror return to the T20I side in the ongoing series against Afghanistan. After being run out for a duck in the series-opener in Mohali, Rohit failed to open his account once again in the second T20I. He was cleaned up by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the first over of India's 173-run chase. Prior to the ongoing series, Rohit had not played a T20I in over 14 months. However, his return to the team hasn't been a fruitful one for him individually.
India captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday added another gem to his shining crown as he became the first men's player to play 150 T20Is. Rohit achieved this feat during the second T20I match against Afghanistan at the Holkar Cricket Stadium. Rohit returned to India's T20I setup for the first time since the end of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022. He led his side to a 6-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the first T20I in Mohali.
India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl against Afghanistan in the second T20I in Indore on Sunday. At the toss, Rohit announced two changes as Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal returned after missing the series-opener. On the other hand, Shubman Gill and Tilak Varma missed out on a place in the XI. With the series against Afghanistan set to India's last assignment before the T20 World Cup in June, Rohit emphasised that the team wants to try out different things to prepare for the World Cup. As far as the changes were concerned, Rohit did not reveal any details.
The Mumbai Indians captain change triggered a huge storm on social media, with fans blasting the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise for replacing skipper Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya. Several fans felt the decision came in too early as the franchise bosses explained that the hard step had to be taken in the wake of the future. When former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh was asked about the captaincy change, he said that the franchise had to think long term, but the experience that Rohit Sharma brings, can't be replaced.
Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra wants senior Indian batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to open during the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA, saying that the pitches at the venue will be such that there will be better chances at scoring runs in the first six overs of the innings. Rohit and Virat will be playing together in a T20I match for the first time in over one year since India's crushing loss to England in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 when they meet Afghanistan in the second T20I at Indore on Sunday. India leads the series 1-0.
Rohit Sharma's outburst over Shubman Gill during the first T20I against Afghanistan has become the new talk of the town. In the chase of 159, Rohit played a delivery from Fazalhaq Farooqi to mid-off and called for a single. However, Gill was watching the ball and did not move resulting in Rohit getting run-out without scoring a single run. After getting dismissed, Rohit expressed his displeasure towards Gill and even uttered some explicit words. Many former cricketers and experts have given their take on this incident and now Rohan Gavaskar has also given his opinion.
