"Rohit Sharma Shouldn't Have Done This..." Afghanistan Cricketer Karim Janat Slams Indian Captain

The third and final T20 between India and Afghanistan which turned out to be a historic match comprising a double super over, was also full of surprises and now controversies. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who batted twice in the super overs was alledged of 'overlooking' certain rules and taking advantage of unclear rules as back-to-back supers overs happened for the first time in the history of Indian cricket. However, no official was raised by any Afghanistan player during the match, all-rounder Karim Janat said Rohit shouldn't have been allowed to bat again.

The Hit-man scored a blitzkrieg hundred in the same match and then powered Team India with towering sixes and ground-rolling boundaries.

In a conversation with the Hindustan Times, Karim Janat said "We didn't know much about that. Our management talked to the umpires. Rohit came out to bat, but we learned later that he shouldn't have been allowed to do that. Even if you were retired out, you can't come to bat again. We can't do much about it now because what's happened has happened. The captain and coach discussed about it later, but it was all between them."

Earlier, after the India vs Afghanistan match, Afghan coach Jonathan Trott also said he had no idea about the situation, adding that officials should have talked with captains and cleared the air.

"I have no idea (whether Rohit retired hurt or out). Has there ever been two Super Overs? That's what I am trying to say. We keep setting these new rules. What I am trying to say is we kept testing the rules, we kept testing the guidelines," Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott said.
