Rashid Khan Dismisses Rohit Sharma in 2nd ODI Between India and AfghanistanPreviousNext

During the second ODI in Lucknow, Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan dismissed India's Rohit Sharma for 48 runs, denying him a half-century. Rashid's deceptive delivery, featuring flight and sharp turn, provided Afghanistan a crucial breakthrough after India's strong start. Rohit's dismissal was a key moment, but India continued their innings with Shubman Gill building on the foundation laid by Rohit. Rashid's performance reaffirmed his status as a leading spinner in international cricket.
