[ad_1]
India captain Rohit Sharma’s hilarious reaction to Rishabh Pant’s shout for taking a catch has gone viral during the Super 8 clash against Afghanistan on June 20, Thursday. The incident happened in the 11th over when Gulbadin Naib mistimed a ball from Kuldeep Yadav straight into the air. Pant went for the ball and kept shouting that it was his catch, forcing everyone to stay away.
Rohit was the other fielder who was close to the ball but allowed Pant to take the catch, which he made no error in. Rohit was then seen telling Pant in Hindi that it was indeed his catch in the end.
“Tera hai, tera hai. (It’s yours, it’s yours).” said Rohit to Pant.
The full video of the interaction was posted by ICC on social media.

How did the India vs Afghanistan match unfold?
Having won the toss in Barbados, India opted to bat first and the start wasn’t ideal. They lost Rohit cheaply before Kohli and Pant had a partnership going before both men were dismissed quickly. Suryakumar Yadav came in and steadied the ship, before finding the perfect partner in Hardik Pandya at the other end.
The duo put on 60 runs to power India to a total of 181 runs in their 20 overs as Suryakumar scored 53 and Hardik hit 32.
The Afghanistan chase was jolted early by Jasprit Bumrah and the Indian bowlers as they were reduced to 23 for 3 before Naib and Omarzai steadied the ship. Bumrah ended with figures of 3 for 7 in 4 overs while Arshdeep also got 3 as India won the match by 47 runs.
