Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India, scored his fifth T20I century to save India from embarrassment in Bengaluru. Rohit is the only player to have fifteen hundred runs on the game’s shortest version. Suryakumar and Glenn Maxwell from Australia each have four.

The opener, who had just finished two consecutive ducks, hoped to get the game going early. However, Virender Sharma, the umpire, called his leg glances as leg-byes.

The Indian skipper and the umpire had a humorous banter. Still, the laughter was quickly snuffed out by the Afghan bowlers who destroyed the Indian top order.

India found themselves in trouble in the third over after a steady start. Both Yashasvi and Virat were dismissed consecutively. Kohli’s golden duck was much to the Bengaluru fans’ dismay.

Shivam Dube, who had scored fifty in the first two matches, was dismissed for just one. Sanju Samson failed to impress with his bat and was also dismissed as a duck.

Rinku Singh joined the Indian skipper in the middle, and the two men formed a solid partnership that would ultimately save India. The pair scored 61 runs in the first ten overs before accelerating. The Indian skipper began to attack the bowlers and found boundaries with ease.

Rohit’s innings included ten boundaries and six sixes. The Indian skipper finished the innings with 121 off only 69 deliveries and was unbeaten. This was the fourth-highest score an Indian batsman has achieved in T20Is.

Rohit was also able to redeem himself at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, as he was unsuccessful there. India scored 212 runs in the innings.

The Records That Rohit Sharma Broke In The Third T20I Victory Over Afghanistan

IND vs AFG: Here are Record List which broken by Rphit Sharma.

Captain of the T20Is With Most Runs

Only three T20I Indian captains have had major runs. Rohit’s total runs as captain now stands at 1,648 (54 games). He has surpassed Virat Kohli, who had 1,570 runs in 50 games.

MS Dhoni is the third-best on the list. He batted lower than the other two and scored 1,112 in 72 matches. Rohit had the lowest average (37.06) but the highest strike rate (148.73).

T20Is Captain With The Most Sixes

Rohit has scored 90 sixes out of 54 innings, which is a record. He surpassed former England captain Eoin Moor’s 86 sixes to become the most prolific six-hitter of the format.

The Indian opener shattered Morgan’s record in only 54 innings. Aaron Finch is next with 82 matches (76 games). Rohit has reached a point in his career when every six he makes will be a record.

Rohit Sharma Has Become The Oldest Indian Ever To Score A T20I Century

Rohit, 37 years old and 262 days old, became the oldest Indian to score a T20I century. He was also the sixth oldest overall. Rohit surpassed Virat, who was 33 and 307 days old when he scored his first T20I century (122*) at the T20 Asia Cup 2022. This also happened in Afghanistan.

Avinash Pai, a Gibraltar native aged 39 years and 272 days in 2021, scored a 107* when playing Bulgaria. He is currently ranked number one on the records list.

Highest Partnership At The 5th Wicket In A T20I

The unbeaten partnership of Rohit and Rinku, which amounted to 190 runs, was also placed on the records. This was the highest partnership for the fifth wicket ever in T20Is. The previous best was Kushal Malla and Dipendra Aireee’s partnership of 145 against Hong Kong for Nepal in the Asian Games last year.

This was the highest partnership of any wicket in India’s history, surpassing Sanju Samson and Deepakhooda’s 176-run second-wicket partnership against Ireland.

Most Hundreds in T20Is

The captain’s fifth century in T20I was perhaps the most significant. The skipper now holds the record for the most triple-digit T20I scores, surpassing Suryakumar Jadav (4 and Glenn Maxwell 4).

Three batters each have three hundreds in this format, while eleven have two. Rohit achieved the record only after 151 matches. No other player with two or more T20I hundreds has played that many games.

The Best Performance by Rohit Sharma T20I Carriers

Rohit Sharma’s best T20I score is 121. Rohit Sharma’s previous best score was 118 off 43 balls against Sri Lanka at Indore on December 22, 2017.

Most Centuries as a T20 Captain

Rohit is the second captain after Babar Azam in history to score three T20I centuries as a captain.

Equal Dhoni Record

Rohit’s 42 T20I victories for India, which he equaled with MS Dhoni after India’s victory over Afghanistan in the third T20I, was boosted by Rohit’s win against Afghanistan.

The Team That Whitewashes The Other Team Gets More Time

India has now surpassed Pakistan, which had achieved the feat eight times. India has now surpassed Pakistan’s eight-time record. Rohit has won 12 bilateral T20I Series for India.
