The ultimate match of the T20I sequence between India and Afghanistan took a dramatic flip when Rohit Sharma was allowed to bat within the second Tremendous Over after the India skipper determined to retire himself ‘out’ in the course of the first.
With 17 to chase, Rohit and fellow opener Yashasvi Jaiswal got here in to bat for the primary Tremendous Over. All of it got here all the way down to the ultimate supply, with the Males in Blue needing two off it. Rohit determined to deliver on Rinku Singh forward of the final ball.
Azmatullah Omarzai gave away only one as Jaiswal discovered the toe finish of his bat and the match was pressured right into a subsequent Tremendous Over.
Chaos ensued when Rohit got here out to bat once more, with Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott, seemingly arguing with the match officers on the sidelines.
Rohit managed to attain 11 within the second Tremendous Over, which was the eventual goal for the Afghans. With two wickets in three deliveries off Ravi Bishnoi, India managed to finish the whitewash.
In the meantime, in the course of the post-match present, former India wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel gave his ideas on the controversy. “Rohit Sharma was retired out and but he got here out to bat within the second Tremendous Over. He shouldn’t have as a result of he was retired ‘out’ and never ‘harm’. I feel that’s one thing the umpires missed on the market,” he mentioned.
What does the MCC enjoying situations say?
25.4.2 – If a batter retires due to sickness, damage or some other unavoidable trigger, that batter is entitled to renew his/her innings. If for any cause this doesn’t occur, that batter is to be recorded as ‘Retired – not out’.
25.4.3 – If a batter retires for any cause aside from as in 25.4.2, the innings of that batter could also be resumed solely with the consent of the opposing captain. If for any cause his/her innings is just not resumed, that batter is to be recorded as ‘Retired – out’.
TIED SUPER OVER – Any batsman dismissed in any earlier Tremendous Over shall be ineligible to bat in any subsequent Tremendous Over.
The choice to let Rohit bat is more likely to stir additional controversy.
