“Wrong in complaining”: Former Indian cricketer on Rohit’s disappointment over controversial run in the 3rd T20I
After belting out a supreme knock of 121 unbeaten in the third and final T20I match against Afghanistan on Wednesday, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expressed his anger over the extra run stored by Afghanistan batters. The entire event unfolded on the last bowl of the first super over. Mohammad Nabi failed to strike the last ball from Mukesh Kumar, running for the single. While running, a throw from wicketkeeper Sanju Samson hit Nabi on the leg, turning the ball’s direction towards long-on where Virat Kohli was stationed.
Following this, Nabi ran for two more extra runs, adding three runs overall to their total. Rohit Sharma was left disappointed with the act from Afghanistan batters, and was also seen having few words with Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi. Speaking over this, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra feels that India were wrong in complaining.
“A bye was taken off the last ball. Sanju Samson threw the ball, it hit Nabi’s leg and they ran two extra runs. One was available and India gave one because they were complaining about the spirit of the game. India were wrong in complaining. You could have restricted them to two runs and you conceded a third just like that,” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube Channel.
“My question is, assuming had it been the last ball of a World Cup final and the extra run you were getting after the ball hit the pads was deciding the match, would anyone not run there? Would anyone be ready to lose the World Cup by not taking that run because it is ethically incorrect? Everyone would have run,” he said.
