Watch: Furious Rohit Sharma Blasts Shubman Gill After Horrible Mix-up Sees Him Depart For 0 In India vs Afghanistan T20I

The first T20I between India and Afghanistan was all about one man - Rohit Sharma. The Indian cricket team captain was making a comeback into the format after 14 months. This is India's last international T20 series ahead of the T20 World Cup and Rohit Sharma's performance was under focus. However, his stay at the crease was shortened after a horrible mix-up with fellow opener Shubman Gill. On the second ball of the first over by Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rohit Sharma was run out on 0.

Rohit was absolutely furious with Gill after the dismissal. He even gesticulated something at the youngster before returning to the dug out.  Rohit drove the ball to the mid-off and called for the single. But Gill kept watching the ball and did not move. By then, Rohit had ran to the other end. Afghanistan fielders made no mistake and ran Rohit Sharma out.

Openers Rahamanullah Gurbaz (23 off 28) and skipper Ibrahim Zadran (25 off 22) could only find four boundaries in the powerplay.

The start of the game was delayed by a few minutes as a flickering blue light around the
