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.

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.
