Cometh the hour, Come the Storm! Ro-HIT- Sharma slammed a thumping century in IND vs AFG clash. India has been tasked to chase 273 runs and Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan gave the Men in Blue a perfect start. Rohit reached his fifty 30 balls and then continued his carnage. He managed to reach his century in just 63 balls.
Let’s check some reactions:-
Following a disappointing duck dismissal in the previous game against Australia, Rohit Sharma came to the crease determined for revenge. After a cautious start, Rohit immediately changed gears and went on the attack. He continued thrashing the Afghani bowlers for fun.
Not contented with fours, Rohit started hitting sixes for fun. He went on to slam the biggest six of the tournament so far in the tournament with a monstrous hit of 93 meters.
