Spirit Of Cricket, Yet Again, Says R Ashwin On Mohammad Nabi-Rohit Sharma Controversy
Kolkata Knight Riders: India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has weighed in on the Mohammed Nabi extra run controversy during the third T20I between India and Afghanistan.
As the final ball of the first super over played out, Nabi, attempting a single, found himself amid a contentious situation. Sanju Samson's throw from behind the stumps struck Nabi's leg, deflecting towards long-on and enabling the batsmen to snatch two additional runs.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, visibly perturbed, confronted Nabi, arguing that the extra runs went against the essence of the game. However, the on-field umpires deemed the runs legitimate, setting off a storm of opinions on sportsmanship.
