"Hasn't Scored A Single Run": Ex India Star Blasts Rohit Sharma After Indore T20I

The Indian cricket team has the 3-match T20I series against Afghanistan in their kitty, having won the first two matches convincingly. While the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shivam Dube, Ravi Bishnoi, Axar Patel, etc. have impressed, skipper Rohit Sharma's form hasn't been the best. After getting run-out in the first match without opening his account, Rohit fell for a duck in the second match too. Though there is no question about the Hitman's ability, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has questioned his shot selection after the strange dismissal in the second T20I on Sunday.

Yashasvi effected one of the rare modes of run-outs during India's second T20I against Afghanistan in Indore on Sunday. While a batter getting runout is quite a common scene in the field of cricket, it is rare to see both the batter and the fielder engaging in a sprint race towards the stumps during the dismissal. The latter case happened when Jaiswal and Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi both ran at the non-striker's end with full might the Indian star winning the race and running his opponent out.

Backed to open alongside skipper Rohit Sharma in the second T20I against Afghanistan on Sunday, Yashasvi Jaiswal made quite a statement with his 34-ball 68 in Indore. The promising youngster said it was all thanks to the "go out and express yourself" brief from the Indian team management, especially the captain. The 22-year-old's strokeful knock at the top of the order and Shivam Dube's 63 not out off 32 balls, helped India register a six-wicket series-clinching win here on Sunday as the hosts easily chased down the target of 173 with 26 balls to spare.

With the series against Afghanistan in bag, India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said he is happy that the players are actually walking the talk as the team ticks all the boxes ahead of the T20 World Cup. India beat Afghanistan by six wickets in the second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-game series, which is the last before the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies. "We have been clear with what we wanted to do, very clear message to everyone and when you see a performance like that, you can be really proud," Rohit said during the post-match presentation.

Legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has highlighted the importance of Hardik Pandya in the Indian team.

With the T20 World Cup set to be held later this year after the Indian Premier League (IPL), Yuvraj feels that India should look at more options when it comes to captaincy.
