Currently, the first T20 match is being played between India and Afghanistan at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali. In this match, Afghanistan batted first and scored 158 runs losing 5 wickets in 20 overs.

However, while chasing the target, the Indian team suffered a big setback in the very first over. Indian team captain Rohit Sharma was run out in the very first over of this match. Rohit Sharma moved forward on the ball of Fazalhaq Faruqui and played a shot towards mid-off.

Rohit Sharma ran to take runs but Shubman Gill standing at the other end stopped him. Afghanistan team captain Ibrahim Zadran made a very good dive and stopped the ball. Rohit Sharma wanted to score runs and Gill did not. In this time, Ibrahim threw the ball to wicketkeeper Gurbaz and Rohit Sharma was run out. When Rohit Sharma was run out, both the batsmen were standing at the same end.

Rohit Sharma was very angry with the young batsman’s mistake and while going towards the pavilion, he reprimanded Shubman Gill. At present, the start of the Indian team has not been so good and they have lost their first wicket.

Shubman Gill didn’t sacrifice his Wkt for Captain Rohit Sharma… Rohit is so furious on him and now he has to play for himself n Rohit to calm him motiv#INDvAFG #INDvsAFG #AFGvIND#RinkuSingh #T20I #AxarPatel #JiteshSharma #Mohali #SanjuSamson #MukeshKumarpic.twitter.com/X0Yizv5rQ1
