New Delhi. You must have rarely seen Rohit Sharma in anger. The image of ‘Hitman’ is that of a cheerful captain, who rarely scolds his players. But in the T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma’s fierce form was seen against Australia. The first victims of Rohit’s anger were the Australian bowlers, against whom the Indian captain scored 92 runs in 41 balls. After this, Rohit’s anger erupted on Rishabh Pant as well, when this player dropped an easy catch.
India scored 205 runs for 5 wickets in the Super-8 match against Australia. This is India’s highest score in T20 World Cup 2024. Perhaps the ‘side effect’ of this big score was that Rishabh Pant did not make the effort that is expected of him in a catch. Not only this, Pant was seen smiling after the catch was missed and this thing hurt the captain. Captain Rohit Sharma turned red with anger after Rishabh Pant missed the catch. He left no stone unturned to vent his anger on the field itself. Rohit was seen muttering something while shaking his hands in anger.
IND vs AUS T20 World Cup: India made the record of most sixes, had made it just a day before…
The catch that Rishabh Pant missed was of Australian captain Mitchell Marsh. When Mitchell Marsh could not even open his account, Jaspreet Bumrah bowled a bouncer. Mitchell Marsh tried to pull this bouncer. However, his shot was not under control at all. Mitchell Marsh could hardly hit the ball. The ball hit his bat and reached short fine leg. There was no fielder there, but wicketkeeper Pant could easily reach the distance at which the ball was.
Rohit sharma abused Rishabh pant. You may score runs in an irrelevant match but you can’t earn the respect like zvirat Kohli. pic.twitter.com/rMFVfv3VKx
