Indian cricket team lost against Sri Lanka in a do or die game in the Asia Cup super 4 game. This was India’s second defeat in the tournament which nearly ends the journey of the team. With this defeat, it is now very difficult for the team to be in the finals of the Asia Cup 2022. Despite losing the game, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma reached a new milestone.

When India were batting first, Rohit Sharma scored 72 runs in 41 balls. This 72 runs made him the first Indian to score 1000 runs in the Asia Cup tournament. No other Indian has reached this score yet. Rohit Sharma also recently became the first Indian to complete 3000 runs in T20Is. Indian opening batter Rohit Sharma keeps making such records and milestones in cricket.

Indian cricket team’s run in the Asia Cup will now depend on the other team’s performance. On Wednesday, 7th September, Pakistan will be playing against Afghanistan. Indian fans want Afghanistan to defeat Pakistan and India to defeat Afghanistan in the next game. Pakistan and Sri Lanka are the team who have won 1-1 games in the super 4.
