Former batsman Suresh Raina praised Indian captain Rohit Sharma as the GOAT (greatest of all time) following the India skipper’s outstanding batting performance in the third T20I against Afghanistan on Wednesday, January 17.
Rohit Sharma showcased his brilliance, leading India to a thrilling victory at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Following two successive ducks in the first two T20Is, the Mumbai batsman bounced back with a record-breaking fifth T20I century. He played a crucial role in both super overs, contributing significantly to India’s triumph.
India faced a challenging situation at 22 for 4, but Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh’s exceptional partnership of 190 runs propelled them to 212 for 4. Rohit remained unbeaten with a remarkable 121 off 69 balls, while Rinku contributed a quick 69 off 39 balls. Afghanistan matched India’s score, resulting in a tie. The first super over ended with both teams scoring 16. In the second super over, Rohit’s powerful hitting led India to 11 runs, and Ravi Bishnoi’s excellent bowling secured a memorable win for India.
