India vs Afghanistan 2nd ODI: A very bad thing happened to Afghan batsman Darwish Rasooli in the second ODI match between India and Afghanistan. This right-handed batsman got injured not once but twice in the match and he had to retire hurt.

Darwish Rasooli's father passed away after the Dharamshala ODI match and he returned to Afghanistan for his last rites, but before the Lucknow ODI, he again joined the team and got a chance to debut, but the debut match of this player was very sad.
