Shaheen Afridi achieves unique feat against Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli

Shaheen celebrates after taking a wicket — AFPPakistan's Shaheen Shah Afridi created a unique record as he rattled India's top-order in Green Shirts' second match in the Asia Cup 2023 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on Saturday.Afridi, 23, is considered one of the best bowlers in the world and arguably the most dangerous with the new ball as he has been consistently ripping the stumps for the last two to three years. And that is what exactly he did to the Indian top-order today by sending the Blues' most experienced batters back to the pavilion and while doing so, he also did something that no other bowler could ever do before. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have played a total of 342 matches together and batted in 361 innings in all formats. Seven times they were bowled in a single match or an innings but never by the same bowler until today, when Afridi ripped the stumps and made them walk back to the pavilion.He became the only bowler to bowled both batters in the same match or innings across all formats. Although before today, Kohli had done well against Shaheen but Sharma could not ever stand for long against the Eagle.In four encounters against Shaheen in T20Is and 50-over matches — Asia Cup 2018 and 2023, T20 World Cup 2021 and 2022 — Sharma scored a total of 33 runs in 45 balls and lost his wicket twice in the process.When this story was filed, India were playing at 210-5 in 39 overs with Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya on the crease.LineupsIndia: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed SirajPakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf.
