00:00 T.R.U Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi witnessed some unforgettable moments in the ICC World
00:11 Cup 2023 match between India and Afghanistan. India skipper Rohit Sharma showcased an envious
00:18 range of hittings and claimed several records as Team India registered an emphatic eight-wicket
00:24 win over Afghans. Rohit smashed his seventh hundred of the ODI World Cup to surpass legendary
00:30 Sachin Tendulkar and even leapfrogged Universe boss Chris Gayle to hit most number of sixes
00:36 in international cricket. Batting first, Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi's dogged 80
00:43 and young Azmatullah Omarzai's gutsy 62 took Afghanistan to a score of 272 for eight on
00:51 a belter of a track. Later, an unstoppable Rohit Sharma was on a record-breaking spree
00:58 as he also made the fastest century by an Indian in the ODI World Cup. He hit a spectacular
01:04 flat six in the fifth over, completing his 100th World Cup run in the process. His opening
01:11 partner Ishan Kishan had the best weave of Rohit's artistry from the non-strikers' end,
01:17 contributing to a 156-run opening stand. Despite losing Rohit and Ishan Kishan to spin from
01:24 Rashid Khan, Virat Kohli stood his ground, scoring a steady 55 not out of just 56 deliveries,
01:31 chasing down the target successfully for the Indians. Rohit scored 84-ball-131 before getting
01:38 dismissed but not before smashing 16 boundaries and five sixes, and decimating the morale
01:45 of Afghan bowlers in the process. India overhauled the target of 273 runs inside 35 overs and
01:53 registered a win with 90 balls to spare. For India, Jaspreet Bumrah was the star bowler
02:00 of the day with figures of 4 for 39, while his new-ball bowling partner Mohd Siraj was
02:06 expensive. Hardik Pandya, the birthday boy, picked up a couple of crucial wickets and
02:11 even broke the threatening century stand between Shahidi and Azmatullah, who slammed respective
02:17 half-centuries. Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur also picked up a wicket each to help India
02:23 restrict Afghanistan to a decent total. India is now all set for their next big thing against
02:30 Pakistan. Make sure to tune in on 14th October.
