Shaheen Shah Afridi
IND vs PAK Shaheen Shah Afridi: Asia Cup 2023 will host a great match between India and Pakistan. After about four years, this game takes place between these two teams in ODIs. Team India got off to a good start after winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill started playing cautiously, but rain soon followed. Rain interrupted the fifth round. By this point, Team India had gone 15 runs without a loss. However, the game resumed after about half an hour. When play resumed, it was expected that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill would lead the innings, but the ground got wet due to the rain and the outfield also slowed. This stopped the movement speed. Shortly thereafter, Team India’s first wicket fell in the form of Rohit Sharma, who was bowled clean by Shaheen Shah Afridi. After Rohit, Virat Kohli was Shaheen’s next victim. In doing so, Shaheen Afridi has created a new history unprecedented in ODI cricket.

Rohit Sharma hit 22 balls before retiring and retired after 11 runs. He hit two fours. However, Fakhar Zaman had already dropped a catch from Rohit Sharma on Shaheen’s ball on the second ball of the game, Rohit Sharma couldn’t take full advantage of it and came out cheap. After that came former captain Virat Kohli to bat in third place. Kohli played some good shots right after his arrival, but his innings didn’t last long either. He scored four runs in seven balls and was sent off on the ball by Shaheen Shah Afridi, hitting a four-pointer.
