India’s captain Rohit Sharma expressed displeasure with his opening partner Shubman Gill after being run-out in a regrettable mix-up in the first T20I against Afghanistan in Mohali on January 11.

This T20I marked Rohit’s return to the format in international cricket, having last represented India in a T20I in November 2022 during the T20 World Cup in Australia. Rohit’s innings, h??owever, was abruptly cut short ??as he was run out on the second ball of India’s chase of 159.

Unlucky dismissal of Rohit Sharma

Rohit was yet to open his account when, on the second delivery of the Indian innings, he pushed Fazalhaq Farooqi‘s fuller-length ball towards the off-side. Rohit ran the length of the pitch, and even as the fielder at mid-off Ibrahim Zadran didn’t receive the ball in the first attempt, Rohit’s opening partner Gill didn’t leave the crease at the other end. A horrible mix-up followed as Rohit and Gill were both at the non-striker’s end, resulting in Rahmanullah Gurbaz, the wicketkeeper, dislod??ging the bail?s to dismiss Rohit.

Rohit’s frustration: Displeasure at Shubman Gill

Expressing his frustration, Rohit could be heard on the stump mic reprimanding Gill for the misunderstanding. Gill, attempting to explain, faced Rohit’s fury as the captain returned to the dressing room. Despite the turbulent start, Gill later showcased his batting prowess, contributing significantly with five boundaries before being stumped off Mujeeb Ur Rahman for 23 runs off 12 balls.

Here’s the video:

It was an easy run. Shubman Gill did not moves from his place.Rohit Sharma was looking very angry ..!!#INDvsAFG //t.co/RYEaQcvVer

In the first T20I between India and Afghanistan at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali on Thursday (January 11), the Men in Blue registered a comprehensive six-wicket victory, largely fueled by Shivam Dube‘s explosive and calculated innings. Batting at the crucial number four position, Dube showcased his aggressive style, amassing 60 runs off 40 balls at a strike rate of 150. The left-handed batter displayed power and finesse, hitting five fours and two towering sixes.

Shivam Dube’s towering six: A spectacle in Mohali

One of those sixes left spectators in awe as the ball traveled an impressive 98 meters off the bat of Dube, facing Afghan bowler Naveen-ul-Haq. The spectacula??r hit sent the ball into a state of oblivion, disappearing from v??iew.

In the second ball of the 18th over, with Team India requiring 10 runs to secure the victory, Naveen delivered an overpitched ball around off. Dube, with minimal effort, executed a simple swing of the bat, sending the ball soaring over Naveen’s head. The ball traveled straight behind the side screen, and to the amazement of everyone, it was lost.

As Team India gears up for their final T20I series against Afghanistan before the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024, they face an unexpected adversary in the form of the biting cold in Mohali. With fog enveloping most of North India during the winter peak, the p?layers at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium found themselv??es bundled up in hoodies, jackets, and warmers during practice sessions, often battling low visibility.

Chilling conditions challenge Team India ahead of first T20I against Afghanistan

Head coach Rahul Dravid himself sported multiple layers of clothing and a woollen skullcap to combat the freezing conditi??ons. The players, grateful for the comfort of gloves, injected humor into their foggy training environment.

Axar Patel’s temperature banter

In a video shared by BCCI on social media platform X, left-arm spinner Axar Patel, while rubbing his hands to stay warm, inquired about the temperature. A staff member responded with “It’s 12 degrees,” to which Axar, seemingly astonished, jokingly remarked, “12? It feels like 6 degrees,” The banter highlig??hted the bone-chilling cold experienced by?? the players.

Players’ hilarious take on the cold

Arshdeep Singh, a Punjab native, humorously claimed to feel warm, mockingly spreading cold air from his mouth towards the camera. Shubman Gill initiall??y downplayed the cold but quickly corrected himself, admitting the freezing temperatures.

Coach Rahul Dravid’s struggle

Coach Rahul Dravid, hailing from Bangalore, expressed his struggle with the freezing conditions, stating, “It’s too cold. I am from Bangalore, and it’s too freezing here,” However, spinner Washington Sundar, accustomed to Chennai’s milder climate, found the weather relatively easy to handle.

Spinners’ grip challenge

Left-arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav acknowledged the difficulty spinners face in gripping the ball due to the cold. Kuldeep emphasized the challenge, particularly for spinners, in opening up their bodies and maintaining a good grip. Faci?ng this unique weather challenge, Team India prepares for the T20I series against Afghanistan with a touch of humor and resilience.
