Rohit Sharma explodes in anger at Shubman Gill after bizarre run out against Afghanistan in Mohali
Rohit Sharma’s return to the T20I setup did not go right on Thursday (Jan 11) after the Indian skipper was dismissed for a duck in a bizarre run out at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. The run out sparked angry reactions from Rohit Sharma. In a video that has gone viral on the internet, Sharma can be seen venting his anger at Shubman Gill.
What was the incident
On the second ball of the Indian innings with bowler Fazalhaq Farooqi bowling, Rohit’s shot went down to the mid-off fielder while he was deep. Seeing the opportunity, Rohit tried to steal a run and reached the non-striker's end. However, with the response from Gill, the Indian skipper was left stranded in no man’s land. The fielder threw the ball to wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz and executed the run out withno batter at the striker's end.
This resulted in an angry Rohit, returning after 14 months to the T20I team, yelling at Gill while he was on his way to the pavilion. The 35-year-old’s disappointment did not go unnoticed as fans had mixed views on the internet.
