Watch: Spinner Kuldeep 'argues' with Captain Rohit Sharma over India's missed opportunity
Both Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami delivered a brilliant opening spell, which set the stage for India's dominant 100-run victory over England in the World Cup on Sunday. With this victory, India extended their winning streak to six. Captain Rohit Sharma played a pivotal role with a resilient 87 runs off 101 balls, standing out on a challenging pitch where many Indian batters struggled to perform. Suryakumar Yadav contributed with a crucial 49 runs in the death overs, helping India reach a total of 229 for nine. However, England were bowled out for just 129 in 34.5 overs.
With spin, Kuldeep Yadav was key for India and produced an incredible delivery that earned him the wicket of captain Jos Buttler during the 16th over. The left-arm spinner picked another wicket later in the innings when he dismissed Liam Livingstone for 27; yet, there came a moment later in England's run-chase when Rohit couldn't help suppress his anger at Kuldeep.

This came shortly after the dismissal of Moeen Ali in the 24th over. Kuldeep had bowled the 22nd over, and on one of the deliveries in the over, the spinner beat Livingstone's bat, striking him on his pad. The Indian team chose not to review for a potential LBW at the time; however, the replays on the big screen later showed that the ball would have gone on to hit the leg stump.
Following the replay, Rohit walked towards Kuldeep and expressed his anger at not taking charge of the review. The spinner, realizing that there was a wicket for the taking, had little option but to listen to the rant of his captain.
