| Rohit sharma angry |
In a thrilling T20 match against Afghanistan in Mohali, Team India secured a victory by six wickets, marking their triumphant return after a hiatus of 14 months in T20 international cricket. However, the captain, Rohit Sharma, faced an unusual setback as he was dismissed without opening his account, adding another duck to his tally. This match not only witnessed Rohit's return but also saw him achieve a remarkable milestone – becoming the first player in the world to register 100 T20 international victories.
Rohit Sharma's Unwanted Record: Most Ducks for an Indian Batsman:
Despite the team's success, Rohit Sharma's early dismissal led him to an unwanted record of being the Indian batsman with the most ducks. This was the 11th instance in T20 internationals where Rohit failed to score, making him the highest on this list among Indian players. His duck in Mohali marked the 141st T20 international match of his career. In comparison, KL Rahul occupies the second spot, having been dismissed for a duck five times in 68 matches.
Other Notable Ducks and Returns: Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer:
In the same T20 match, Virat Kohli made his comeback to the T20 format after a 14-month hiatus. While there are high expectations for Kohli's performance, he has also faced four ducks in T20 internationals. Shreyas Iyer, however, has been overlooked for this T20 series. In his 47 T20 international matches, he has managed to avoid getting out for a duck four times. Washington Sundar, the all-rounder, has faced four ducks in 15 matches for India.
Rohit Sharma's Historic 100 T20 Wins:
Despite his early exit in Mohali, Rohit Sharma's journey in T20 internationals has been nothing short of historic. With the win against Afghanistan, Rohit secured his 100th victory in T20 internationals, making him the first player in the world to achieve this feat. His 149th T20 international match was a significant milestone, reflecting his contribution to Team India's success. In these 100 wins, India has faced defeat in 46 matches, with one tie and two matches yielding no result. Rohit has accumulated 3853 runs in these matches, including four centuries.
In conclusion, Rohit Sharma's return to T20 international cricket after 14 months was marked by a bittersweet experience of being dismissed for a duck in Mohali. However, this match also witnessed him creating history by becoming the first player to achieve 100 T20 international wins. Despite facing the most ducks among Indian batsmen, Rohit Sharma's overall contribution to Team India's success is undeniable.
