Rohit Sharma’s Heroics Secure India’s Thrilling 3-0 Victory over Afghanistan in T20 Series

In a stunning display of cricketing prowess, India emerged victorious with a 3-0 sweep against a resilient Afghanistan in the final T20 series before the T20 World Cup. Skipper Rohit Sharma’s outstanding performance, including a remarkable century (121 not out) and key contributions in two super overs, played a pivotal role in securing the thrilling win. The match witnessed a dramatic turn of events, with Afghanistan’s spirited chase, spinners Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav’s impact, and the heroics of Gulbadin Naib forcing the game into not one but two super overs.

Rohit and Rinku Singh’s extraordinary partnership, rescuing India from a precarious 22 for four to a formidable 212 for four, showcased their resilience and skill. Despite the challenging conditions, Rohit’s innings demonstrated a blend of restraint and explosive shots, including a rare reverse sweep that earned him a T20 fifty. The top-order struggles for India were evident, with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Sanju Samson, and Shivam Dube falling early. However, Rohit’s spectacular century, his first in T20 since 2018, and Rinku’s composed support sealed the series win. Afghanistan’s spirited fight and India’s eventual triumph set the stage for an electrifying T20 World Cup campaign.
