India Rohit Sharma was unimpressed with his wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant in the ongoing match against Australia at the T20 World 2024. The Super 8 game of the tournament between the teams is underway at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium at Gros Islet in Saint Lucia .
After India posted a mammoth total of 205 rums on the board, Arshdeep Singh made sure to get his team off to a good start with the ball. The left-arm pacer removed David Warner for 6 runs in the opener, giving joy to the fans.
In the next over, Jasprit Bumrah complimented him well and also had a chance to take the wicket, but wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant behind the stumps wasted the opportunity.
During the fourth ball of the second over, Jasprit Bumrah bowled a length delivery that climbed terrifyingly onto Mitchell Marsh’s body. The batsman put himself in an awkward position to pull and gloved it to Pant’s left.
It looked like it would be an easy catch for Rishabh Pant and India would get their second wicket. But it was not to be, as the goalkeeper seemed to have lost his balance and slipped a little. That’s what kept him from fully committing to the catch and the ball landed in a safe area.
Seeing Rishabh Pant botch the catch, India captain Rohit Sharma became furious as he was almost sure of getting the second wicket within two overs. But when he saw the catch fall into no man’s land, he became furious at the effort and went on to insult and scold the keeper-batsman.
