PAK vs IND: The much-anticipated matchup between India and Pakistan in the Super 4 game of the Asia Cup 2023 in Colombo was nothing short of a cricketing extravaganza, highlighted by Rohit Sharma’s outstanding batting skills as he destroyed Shadab Khan, the Pakistani leg-spinner. The game was as exciting as advertised, and fans got to see Rohit Sharma at his destructive best.
When Shadab Khan came out to bowl in the 13th over, he had no idea that he was about to face the wrath of the ‘Hitman.’ The first delivery was just a hair short, but Rohit Sharma’s superb timing and anticipation allowed him to rock back and send the ball sailing over cow corner for a massive six. It was the epitome of sophistication and assurance.
The bad luck for Shadab didn’t stop there. Rohit Sharma graciously welcomed his next ball, a broader half-tracker. The Indian captain yanked it with conviction, and the ball flew well into the stands, shocking the Pakistani bowler. It was a textbook example of careful planning and flawless execution.
Shadab Khan was already in a bad position, but Rohit Sharma wasn’t done. Next up came a flat, outside off-ball that hung in the air, almost begging the Hitman to unleash his fury upon it. Rohit waited for the ball to approach, then slashed it behind square with pinpoint accuracy, dividing the two fielders and sending the ball hurtling towards the boundary. Rohit Sharma scored 19 runs off Shadab Khan in only three balls.
