The third ODI match between India and Afghanistan is being played in Chennai. On the Chepauk ground, the Afghan team won the toss and decided to bat first, but in the scorching heat, when the Afghan batsmen came to the crease, they kept losing their wickets one by one. Meanwhile, the amazing jugalbandhi of famous Krishna and Rohit Sharma was seen.
Rohit and Prasidh scored hat-tricks
Actually, Prasidh Krishna took the wickets of all three top order batsmen of Afghanistan team. The amazing coincidence was that the catch of these three batsmen went into the hands of Rohit Sharma. Such feats are rarely seen in cricket, when the same fielder (other than the wicketkeeper) takes three consecutive catches off a bowler’s bowling.
Prasidh Krishna came to bowl in the second over of the innings and on the very first ball, he got Rahmanullah Gurbaz caught in the slip by Rohit Sharma at the score of 5 runs. After that, Prasidh took the wicket of Rahmat Shah on the last ball of the sixth over and this time also Rohit Sharma took the catch in the slip.
The famous pair of Krishna and Rohit Sharma again came into limelight in the eighth over of the innings. This time also Rohit was standing in the slips and the bowler was as famous as before, but the batsman had changed. This time he made Ibrahim Zadran his victim, who scored 11 runs.

made historical record
Rohit Sharma and Prasidh Krishna have registered their names in the record books on the basis of this feat. Bharat has become the fourth Indian player to have played a role in the dismissal of the first three batsmen of the opposition team in an innings. Before him, Sourav Ganguly (2002), Manoj Tiwari (2011) and Suresh Raina (2013) had done this.
Apart from this, Rohit has become the third Indian to have taken three catches off the bowling of the same bowler in the history of ODI cricket. Before him, in 2002, VVS Laxman had taken three catches off the bowling of Irfan Pathan in 2004. In 2018, Shikhar Dhawan also did the same against the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah.
