Rohit Sharma vs Shaheen Afridi
Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, has batted twice against the left-arm fast bowler from Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi, in the T20I format, getting dismissed LBW on the very first ball during their first battle in the T20 World Cup 2021. The next time they played against each other during the Asia Cup in 2022, Sharma scored four runs off five balls against Afridi, while their ODI battles have been quite competitive as well.
