Was "Not Very Nice": Commentator Breaks Down What Rohit Sharma Told Shubman Gill After Run Out In India vs Afghanistan T20I

The India vs Afghanistan 1st T20I in Mohali on Thursday saw the Rohit Sharma-led hosts tick almost all boxes. India romped home to a six-wicket win with players like Shivam Dube, Axar Patel and others giving a good account of themselves. However, one box that was left unchecked was a solid batting show by Rohit Sharma. Playing his first T20I in 14 months, Rohit Sharma got out on 0 after a horrific mix-up with fellow opener Shubman Gill.

The incident happened on the second ball of the first over of the Indian innings. Rohit Sharma called for a run but Shubman Gill kept looking at the ball. Rohit Sharma, by then had already ran towards the other ends. Afghanistan players were alert enough to run out the India captain.

"Look at him (Shubman), he is watching and watching. Rohit had called yes (for a run). Won't repeat what he said because it is not very nice. But Rohit Sharma is absolutely spot on, he is in the right," one of the commentators.

"There are two things in running between the wickets first is cross, and second the gauging the pace at which your partner can run. It is not about you being quick enough, it's about what your partner wants, how good he is," said the other commentator.
