Afghanistan
players in the ongoing T20 World Cup match. Following two back-to-back defeats in the tournament, a lot was expected from the Indian cricket team. And so far, they have lived up to the expectations of the fans.
After being asked to bat first, India was back to their regular openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, who gave a flying start to the team. Both the cricketers formed a formidable partnership as they smashed the Afghan bowlers to all the corners of the ground.
Rohit Sharma, who is currently the vice-captain in limited-overs cricket, is the favorite to be the next white-ball India skipper. So far, he has failed to leave a mark on his performance in the ongoing tournament. While he was dismissed for a golden duck in the match against Pakistan, he could only manage to score 14 runs in India’s second match against New Zealand.
Rohit was receiving criticism from all the corners for his form lately. However, the cricketer made a stunning comeback into the game. He walked in to bat against Afghanistan tonight with all-guns-blazing as he smashed the ball all around the corner.
The Hitman Sharma once again proved why he is hailed as one of the best batsmen around the world. He played a stunning knock of 74 runs off 47 balls. His knock was laced with 8 fours and 3 sixes
Meanwhile, fans on social media were thrilled after watching the stunning knock of Rohit Sharma. From cricketers, experts, pundits to fans, everyone took to their Twitter and applauded the performance of the Indian opener. There were many who came up with hilarious memes to it.
Here, check out the reactions of Twitterati on this:
