Rohit Sharma made a comeback in T20Is after more than 14 months, but it didn’t go well. In the match against Afghanistan, on the second ball of the Indian innings, Rohit got run out. There was confusion with his opening partner Shubman Gill. Both batsmen ended up at the same end, and Rohit was dismissed when the wicketkeeper removed the bails.
Rohit Sharma was very angry when he got out, and he could be heard yelling at Shubman Gill on the microphone placed on the stumps. Rohit was disappointed with Gill, and even when Gill tried to explain, Rohit rejected his explanation angrily as they both went back to the dressing room.

Rohit Sharma played his first T20I match against Afghanistan since the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final against England. In the match India needed to chase 159 runs. On the second ball of the inning, when Rohit Sharma and his partner Shubman Gill came to bat, Rohit hit the ball and called for a run.
However, Shubman Gill was focused on the ball, not realizing Rohit’s call. This confusion led to both batsmen ending up at the same end of the pitch. Unfortunately, Rohit Sharma was run out without scoring any runs.
Was it Shubman Gill Mistake?
In the cricket match yesterday, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill faced a problem while running between the wickets. When Rohit called for a run, Shubman didn’t realize it because he was focused on the ball.
This caused confusion, and both ended up at the same end of the pitch. Unfortunately, Rohit got run out without scoring any runs. In cricket, trusting your partner for running between wicket is necessary which was not seen in Shubman Gill yesterday.
However, India Beat Afghanistan By 6 Wickets
For his unbeaten 60*(40) in the chase, Shivam Dube is adjudged the Player of the Match 👏👏#TeamIndia win the 1st T20I by 6 wickets 👌👌
