The high-octane contest between India and Pakistan is always a spectacle to behold! We have seen numerous memorable games between the two sides over the years and some great heroes have emerged from those battles. The pressure in these games owing to the political tension between the two sides is almost non comparable and many great players from both sides have etched their names in history books with some memorable performances. One of them is Rohit Sharma - the Indian skipper played a knock to remember in the 2019 World Cup against Pakistan when he smashed 140 off just 113 deliveries to knockout Pakistan in the big event.

Rohit Sharma vs Shadab Khan - Rohit Sharma Recreates Dominance Of  World Cup 2019

Rohit Sharma is one of the cleanest strikers of the ball and when he gets going, it is very hard to stop him. The extreme pace or quality spin nothing seems to stop him when he is in his groove and the World Cup 2019 knock was one of his best. Every cricket fan will remember how he smashed Shadab Khan in that game all over the park and the iconic scenes of Rohit smashing Shadab Khan off the full toss over deep mid-wicket is one of the most memorable sixes from that game. Rohit got to fifty in the very next ball after hitting that six with a boundary off square drive.

Now, in the Asia Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma recreated the same dominance with identical shots against Shadab Khan.  He smashed a six off the full toss over deep mid-wicket again and a boundary off square drive in the same over, bringing back memories from his belligerent knock of 140 in World Cup 2019.

However, unlike World Cup 2019 where Shadab Khan went wicketless in his 9 overs, he got the better of Rohit Sharma this time. Rohit Sharma departed on 56 off 49 balls as he was caught at long off courtesy a brilliant catch by Faheem Ashraf.
