Team India skipper Rohit Sharma and Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi got into an argument amid the 3rd T20I at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The video of the same went viral as the Indian captain thought Nabi shouldn't have run when there was a deflection off one of his body parts.
The incident occurred during the final ball of the first super over as Nabi missed the wild swing that went through to Sanju Samson behind the stumps. He fired a throw to the stumps, but the ball deflected off Nabi's legs and the veteran all-rounder ran two more.
Rohit Sharma's 5th T20I century leads India to a thrilling win:
It was a relief for the Indian captain as he finally returned to form as he struck an unbeaten 121 off 69 deliveries, leading India to 212 from 61-4 in 10 overs at on stage. The unbeaten partnership with Rinku Singh of 190 off only 95 deliveries did the bulk of the scoring. However, Afghanistan were equally up to the task as both openers struck a half-century to stitch a 93-run stand.
Later, Gulbadin Naib held the innings together, while Mohammad Nabi played a useful cameo of 34 from 16 deliveries. The match could not be decided with the first super over as the scores were level, leading to a 2nd one. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi helped the Men in Blue prevail by dismissing Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz in the same over.
