Cricket is among one of the most favored Sports in India as it’s been played in literally each of the Indian gullies. ICT fans are mad about cricket with whoever India’s match is with; excitement is always at its peak. Today’s rivalry between India and Afghanistan went too high; from the expectation, it was not only a gigantic win for India but also a breaking one. 11-10-2023 Today, India beats Afghanistan by eight wickets and within 35.0 overs.
Smashes by India’s Hitmat Ro-Hit – Rohit Sharma –
Rohit Sharma, 36 years old, is an Indian Cricket Team captain, and he’s the one who heads up towards today’s gigantic win by smashing Afghanistan bowlers with 131 runs in 84 balls. Rohit’s bat was so brutal for Afghanistan’s bowlers that he hit 16 fours and five sixes. Not only this, but Rohit broke the record of Chris Gayle for most sixes by surpassing the Universal Boss and becoming one with around 554 standalone sixes.
Smashes by India’s Ishan Kishan –
Ishan Kishan is India’s young batsman who stood up against Afghanistan with his impressive knock of 47 runs in 47 balls. Unfortunately, he could not complete his half-century but added value to the game while supporting Rohit, the Indian Team Captain, by smashing five fours and two sixes. Ishan Kishan has a bright future in cricket due to his ability to add enthusiasm to the game with his boundaries. In the last match with Australia, Ishan went into the pavilion with a duck; sadly, it was his debut match. But he came more vital than ever and justified himself so well.
Smashes by India’s King Kohli – Virat Kohli –
Nothing is more brutal than Virat Kohli when he is on the crease chasing runs, as he is also known as a run-chaser.

Virat Kohli can tackle and handle stress, which matches his calculations and Bat. Among 31 games where India lost its wickets early and was in the worst phase, Virat made India win 30 games with his majestic Bat, and that’s why we call him King Kohli. He can take India to win from stressed-out games and bring smiles to Indians and cricket enthusiasts.
