Rinku Singh and Rohit Sharma
Rinku Singh and Rohit Sharma: In the match being played between India and Afghanistan, Team India, batting first, scored 212 runs losing 4 wickets. During this, Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh played strong innings. At one time Team India had lost 4 wickets on the score of just 22 runs, but from there these two batsmen together took Team India out of a difficult situation and took India to a huge score. During this time, both of them scored so many runs in one over to an Afghanistan bowler that a shameful record was created in the name of that bowler.
Shameful record in the name of this bowler
Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh scored 36 runs in the last over of the innings. During that time Karim Janat was bowling for Afghanistan. Rohit Sharma hit a four on the first ball of the 20th over. After this, Rohit Sharma hit a long six and the umpire declared it a no ball. Rohit then hit a six on the next ball and on the third ball he took a single and gave strike to Rinku Singh.
Rinku Singh made this over even bigger and hit three sixes in the next three balls and made the over 36 runs. With this, this over became the most expensive over of T20 International. Earlier in the year 2007, Yuvraj Singh had scored 36 runs in one over against England. In 2021, West Indies also scored 36 runs in one over against Sri Lanka. Karim Janat gave 54 runs in three overs in this match.
Rohit-Rinku’s strong batting
Rohit Sharma scored unbeaten 121 runs on 69 balls in this match. During this, he hit 11 fours and 8 sixes. At the same time, Rinku Singh played an unbeaten inning of 69 runs in 39 balls. During this, Rinku hit 2 fours and 6 sixes. Both the players also added unbeaten 190 runs for the 5th wicket. This is the biggest partnership for the 5th wicket in T20I cricket.
