Rohit Sharma has scored 27 half centuries in T20 internationals and surprisingly none of these were scored against. Sharma's last face-off against Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup is the most recent instance to mention in which the right-handed batter failed miserably. The Indian skipper was plumbed in front of the wickets on the very first ball he faced off Shaheen Shah Afridi and returned back to the pavilion on a duck. With the upcoming chance against Pakistan on Sunday, Rohit Sharma will forge in his mind to aid his team as a batter as well, apart from carrying out the captaincy services.
