Rohit Sharma played one of the greatest T20I innings of his career in the third T20I of the IND vs AFG series to bail India out of trouble and complete a series clean sweep as India defeated the Afghans 3-0. India looked down and out at 22/4 but the Indian opener who had failed to get a single run in the series so far, registered his highest T20I score. He scored a blistering 121* off 69 deliveries, an innings studded with 11 fours and 8 sixes which took India to 212/4.
When the Indian bowlers even failed to defend that score successfully and the match went to a Super Over, Rohit returned again and scored 13 off 4 in the first Super Over to go with a 11 off 3 in the second Super Over. Ultimately, India did emerge victorious in the second one-over eliminator, thanks to Rohit's grit. Post the win, the India captain shared a few pictures from the match and captioned the post: "𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩! 👌." However, more than the post it was Suresh Raina's comment on it that grabbed headlines and went viral.
Take a look at Rohit's post and Raina's comment on it underneath:
