Rohit Sharma vs Afghanistan in Cricket World Cup

Last Modified Oct 1, 2023 02:24 IST

Team India will travel to Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium in order to lock horns with Afghanistan in Match 9 of the ICC Men's ODI Cricket World Cup 2023. The much-awaited fixture will be played on Wednesday, October 11.

Against some wily Afghan bowlers, India would look to score some big runs. One of India's biggest assets in their batting line-up is none other than skipper Rohit Sharma.

While Rohit has been in exceptional touch lately, his record against Afghanistan is unsatisfactory. He has only played one ODI World Cup game against the Afghans and made only 1 run in that game.

Rohit Sharma played his only ODI World Cup game against Afghanistan during the 2019 ODI World Cup. It was Match 28th of the tournament and was played at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Although Rohit had a dream 2019 ODI World Cup campaign, he endured a rare failure against Afghanistan.

In the 5th over, bowled by Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Rohit was clean bowled after making only one run off ten balls.

Rohit will look to improve his tally against Afghanistan when the two teams will meet in Delhi on October 11.

The encounter was played during the 2014 Asia Cup. Batting first, Afghanistan made 159 on the board.

In reply, Rohit batted at No. 3 and remained unbeaten at 18 off 24 balls. India eventually won that particular game with eight wickets and 106 balls in hand.

Rohit Sharma has not played enough international cricket against Afghanistan. In fact, he has only featured across four international games against the Afghans.

Rohit's best knock against Afghanistan came during the 2021 T20 World Cup when he hammered 74 runs off only 47 balls in Abu Dhabi.
