Watch: Strong Reaction of Kohli As Rohit, Nabi Argue Over 'Sportsmanship
The captain of Indian cricket team Rohit Sharma was involved in an intense chat with Afghanistan veteran Mohammad Nabi during the first Super Over of the 3rd T20I in Bengaluru on Wednesday. A throw from India wicketkeeper Sanju Samson hit Nabi's pad from behind and resulted in a big deflection, with Afghanistan deciding to make the most of the opportunity by running two extra runs. Rohit, fuming at the ‘unsportsmanlike' decision, argued with both Nabi and the umpire about the unfair advantage that the visiting team got. But the runs continued to be counted.
On his part, Nabi seemed to have put forth the point that he didn't deliberately come in the line of the throw, and hence, he had the right to make the opportunity count.
Here is the video.
Even one of the premium batsmen of India, Virat Kohli, who stopped the ball after the deflection, pointed at his legs, signaling that Nabi shouldn't have taken the additional double as the ball had hit him.
