Ind Vs Afg: When the seasoned opener Rohit Sharma took the pitch for Team India in a Twenty20 International for the first time since the devastating World Cup 2022 loss to England, a lot was expected of him. In the opening match of the series against Afghanistan in Mohali on Thursday, Rohit led the team without Virat Kohli for the first time in fourteen months. He opened the innings with his partner-in-crime, Shubman Gill.

In the Indian innings, Rohit came down the track and creamed the ball towards mid-off after playing a dot in Fazalhaq Farooqi’s first over. Gill was merely a spectator for the non-striker, as he was observed observing the ball when the Indian opener ignored Rohit’s request for a quick single. Although Gill attempted to send Rohit back, the Indian had already darted in to finish the single. Following the terrible misunderstanding, Rohit became enraged at Gill, which made news.

When asked about his cheap dismissal in the opening series between India and Afghanistan, Rohit was beaming during the post-match presentation ceremony. “These incidents occur (during the run-out). You become frustrated because you want to be out there leading the team in runs scored. Not everything will work out for you. What’s more important is that we won the game. Although Gill played a really decent little innings, he was unfortunately removed from the game, which disappointed Rohit.

Shining upon Rohit’s homecoming is Shivam Dube.
In his comeback encounter in Mohali, the thirty-six-year-old was removed for a two-ball duck. Nevertheless, because to an efficient knock from all-rounder Shivam Dube, India managed to defeat the visitors with ease. In 17.3 overs, Dube finished unbeaten at 60 off 40 balls, assisting India in reaching the 159-run target. Gill (23), Tilak Varma (26) and Jitesh Sharma (31) were also important batsmen for the hosts. Dube won Player of the Match honours for both taking a wicket and reaching his second half-century.

Many advantages. Shivam Dube, Jitesh batted beautifully, as did Tilak, and Rinku followed suit. We want to keep experimenting, like bowling our bowlers in various game scenarios, like you seen tonight when Washi bowled the 19th over. The bowlers are not used to our wanting to push themselves in the areas where we feel a little uneasy. That’s what we’d like to attempt. We’ll attempt to do everything within our power while keeping all of those considerations in mind, Rohit continued.

“It was probably quite cold, but I had fun playing on this surface. It was a little daunting for me to play at No. 4 after a long absence, but my only focus was on playing the game the way I knew how. During the post-match presentation, Dube stated, “I know I can hit big sixes in T20s, so I know I can get runs anyway.”
