Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan was reprimanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday for showing dissent towards a team mate during his side's Twenty20 World Cup Group 1 win over Bangladesh.
Rashid Khan-led Afghanistan defeated Bangladesh in a thrilling match to qualify in the historic first-ever T20 World Cup semi-finals. Afghanistan defeated Najmul Shanto's Bangladesh by 8 runs using the DLS system, eliminating one of the favourites, Australia, from the race for the semi-final. After impressive triumphs over T20I cricket giants such as New Zealand and Australia during the same T20 World Cup run, Rashid's Afghanistan made it to the last four. The Afghan spin maestro Rashid played a significant role in this victory by not only confusing the Australian hitters with his deliveries but also engaging in some fun banter with Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has been handed an official reprimand by the ICC for throwing his bat on the ground in frustration after teammate Karim Janat refused a run during their T20 World Cup Super 8 clash against Bangladesh. The incident occurred in the last over of Afghanistan's innings, when Rashid lost his cool after Janat refused a second run on a shot played by the skipper.
India icons Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant's animated chat on the bench has became a big talking point on social media. A video surfaced on the internet where Virat could be seen speaking to skipper Rohit about Rishabh Pant's dismissal. Kohli looked displeased seeing Pant repeat the same mistakes in the middle and even had a chat the India stumper as he arrived in the Indian dugout. Taking up the No. 3 spot in the Indian team this T20 World Cup, Pant has been a revelation, especially when the likes of Kohli and Rohit have been dismissed cheaply. But, the young wicket-keeper batter still has work to do in certain areas in the game.

Australia crashed out of the T20 World Cup 2024 following Afghanistan's thrilling victory over Bangladesh in their last Super 8 match on Tuesday. The Mitchell Marsh-led side slumped to a shocking loss against Afghanistan before losing to India - a result that virtually knocked them out of the tournament. The 24-run victory for India was a huge result for their fans who hailed it as 'revenge' for the Cricket World Cup 2023 final loss in Ahmedabad. During the match between India and Australia, Australia's ODI team captain Pat Cummins also faced sledging from a fan while he was walking back to the pavilion after his dismissal. "Hey Pat! That's for 2023 , that's a revenge for 2023, remember Ahmedabad? And you going home tomorrow," the fan was heard screaming. The video of the incident has surfaced online and it has gone viral on social media.
India captain Rohit Sharma sent fans on social media into a frenzy many times en route to his 92 against Australia in the final Super 8 game of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Be it his onslaught on Mitchell Starc in an over that went for 29 runs, or his catch to dismiss an in-form Travis Head, Rohit had many memorable moments for the Indian fan to remember. But one shot in particular - a 100m six on the bowling of Australia's Test and ODI skipper Pat Cummins - might've been the sweetest.
