This shameful record was registered in the name of Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, who returned to T20 cricket after a gap of 14 months, could not score a single run from his bat, the captain of the Indian team was out on zero while batting. This is the first time that an Indian batsman has lost his wicket for zero against Afghanistan. Rohit hesitated while trying to run with fellow opener Shubhman Gill and was run out on the second ball of the second innings. With his dismissal, Rohit Sharma became the first batsman and captain of the Indian team to be out on zero against the Afghanistan team.
Runs came from the bat of Mohammad Nabi
Mohammad Nabi played the biggest innings for Afghanistan in the first T20 match and he scored 42 runs with the help of three sixes and two fours. Opener Gurbaz scored 23 runs for the team while captain Ibrahim Zadran scored 25 runs. Azmatullah Umarjoi, who came to bat at number three, scored 29 runs. For India, in the first innings, Mukesh Kumar and Akshar Patel achieved 2-2 successes while Shivam Dubey achieved one success by giving nine runs in two overs.
Virat Kohli out of first match due to personal reasons
Team India’s chief coach Rahul Dravid had told a day before the match that Virat Kohli could not play the first match due to personal reasons. He will be available for selection in the second and third matches. Later it was revealed that Kohli was with his family today because of his daughter Vamika’s birthday. Dravid had said that Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma will come to the crease as openers for India. However, Jaiswal was also suddenly out of the first match. Dravid described this series as very important for the preparation of T20 World Cup 2024. He has also said that his performance in IPL is helpful for selection in the team.
Rohit Sharma said this after the toss
After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma said that we will bowl first. There is no special reason. The pitch is good and there is not much change here. There is a lot to be gained from 3 matches. We don’t have much T20 cricket because of the World Cup. It is IPL. But this is an international game and we will try to achieve some things. I spoke to Rahul Bhai regarding the combination ahead and what we need to do as a group, we will try to do the same. But winning is the most important thing. Sanju Samson, Avesh, Yashasvi and Kuldeep missed.
