India captain Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh bossed the third T20I against Afghanistan. The dead rubber game between the teams took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
After India were 22/2, Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh went berserk and were all over the Afghanistan batters. They first made sure that they brought the innings back on the track but once they were in they took bowlers to the cleaners.
Ahead of the game, no one would’ve imagined that the duo of Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh would prove to be this deadly for the team. The left-right combination took the game away from Afghanistan and made sure that India posted a big total on board.
Rohit Sharma started the over with the big six off no ball and then slammed another six in on the free hit. On the third ball, Rinku Singh hit the ball out of the park and if this was not enough, he then made sure that he dispatched the last two balls for maximums as well and ended the innings on high for his team.
