The captain of Team India, Rohit Sharma, had an unanticipated batting struggle upon his return to T20I cricket. Although Rohit led his team to victory over Afghanistan in a series, his batting displays in Mohali and Indore were lackluster, as he was dismissed in both games. In Mohali, an unfortunate incident ruined his first innings, and in the second, he was bowled out on the first delivery. All eyes were on Rohit as the series moved to Bengaluru for the final Twenty20 International, and there was a noticeable sense of pressure on him after he won the toss and elected to bat—a departure from India's approach of bowling first—for the third time in the series.
