"It Wasn't Communicated": Afghanistan Coach's Sharp Take On Super Over Rules Confusion

A double Super Over in international cricket is unprecedented. As India and Afghanistan squared off in the one-over tie-breaker twice on Wednesday, there emerged big confusion over the rules that weren't explained in time. India skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to retire hurt (or retired out) before the conclusion of the first Super Over triggered a huge debate that even Afghanistan coach Johnathan Trott failed to understand. At the end of the match, Trott revealed that there was hardly any communication between the players and the officials as the second Super Over was required to be played.

India captain Rohit Sharma returned to form after back-to-back ducks in the T20I series against Afghanistan, scoring an unbeaten ton in the 3rd T20I.

Rohit gave a rather blunt response, saying he knows it is not possible to keep everyone happy.

India captain 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.

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.

Watch: Rinku Singh's Unusual DRS Footage Sparks Debate, Leaves Fans Confused

A DRS review involving Indian cricket team batter Rinku Singh sparked a massive debate during the third T20I encounter between India and Afghanistan in Bengaluru on Wednesday. During the ninth over of the Indian innings, Rinku was adjudged LBW by umpire Virender Sharma off the bowling of Qais Ahmed. Rinku immediately went for the review and although it looked like the ball was hitting the stumps, UltraEdge showed a spike to suggest that the ball came off the inside edge. It was quite surprising for the umpires as replays showed that although the spike was there, the ball seemed a bit far from the bat.
