The Indian team easily won the first game of the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan by 6 wickets. In this match, an unwanted record was added to the name of captain Rohit Sharma, who joined the T20 International game after 14 months. The Indian captain returned to the pavilion after being taken out in the game without scoring a run. However, with the team's win, Rohit definitely becomes the first player in the international format to win 100 T20 matches as a player.
Rohit is the first Indian captain to be eliminated from a T20 International for a duck.
While Rohit Sharma has set many great records in his name as the captain of the Indian team, in this match a record so shameful was added to him that he became the first captain of Team India to score a duck in a T20 international but he returned back to the pavilion after running out of game. Rohit went for a run on the second ball of his innings after playing a shot in the middle but at the other end, his teammate Shubman Gill couldn't get beyond his crease to see the ball and the fielder hit the ball straight to the wicketkeeper. The pass was thrown and Rohit was run out. After getting out, Rohit Sharma looked very disappointed, expressed his anger towards Gill and went to the pavilion.
9. Captain a full-fledged team in world cricket
Rohit Sharma has become the 9th captain among full-member countries in international T20 cricket to have a duck without scoring a run in a match. This was the 11th time in Rohit Sharma's T20 International career that he failed to open the account.

Furthermore, 31 runs were scored in 20 balls with the bat of wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma.
