Rohit Sharma also hit a line of sixes from the first over. He opened his account with a six and hit a six on Shaheen Afridi in the first over itself. Pakistan team made two big mistakes in the first 10 overs, the consequences of which were so severe that India completed 100 runs without any wicket in 13.2 overs.

Two blunders from Pakistan
Pakistan spoiled one of its reviews in the first five overs itself. Pakistani bowler Naseem Shah was bowling well in the beginning. He troubled Rohit Sharma in the fourth over of the innings. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma was beaten on one ball and Pakistan took a review on the request of wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. The ball was far away from Rohit’s bat and the third umpire gave him not out.

After this, in the very next over of Naseem, Iftikhar Ahmed standing at slip did not touch Shubman Gill’s shot which could have been a brilliant catch. In this way, both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill survived and both scored quick half-centuries.

1⃣0⃣0⃣-run partnership!
