However, his stay at the crease was cut short after a horrible mix-up with opener Shubman Gill.

On the second ball of the first over by Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rohit Sharma was run out on 0. Rohit was furious with Gill after the dismissal. Rohit drove the ball to the mid-off and called for the single. But Gill kept watching the ball and did not move. By then, Rohit had ran to the other end. Afghanistan fielders made no mistake and ran Rohit Sharma out.
 
 
 
However, a half-century by Shivam Dube and a cameo by Jitesh Sharma helped India secure a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in the first T20I of the three-match series at Mohali on Thursday.
 
On his mixup with Shubman Gill that led to the run-out, Rohit said, "Honestly, these things happen. When it happens, you feel frustrated because you want to be out there and score runs for your team. I wanted Shubman Gill to carry on. He played a good inning but got out."
