New Delhi. You have rarely seen Rohit Sharma angry. The image of ‘Hitman’ is that of a happy-go-lucky captain, who rarely scolds his players. But Rohit Sharma’s strong form was seen against Australia in the T20 World Cup. The first victims of Rohit’s wrath were the Australian bowlers, against whom the Indian captain scored 92 runs off 41 balls. After this, Rohit also got angry with Rishabh Pant, when the player took an easy catch.
In the Super-8 match against Australia, India scored 205 runs for 5 wickets. This is India’s highest score in T20 World Cup 2024. Perhaps the ‘side effect’ of this big score was that Rishabh Pant did not give the effort expected of him in the catch. Not only this, Pant was seen smiling after missing the catch and it hurt the captain. Captain Rohit Sharma was red with anger after Rishabh Pant dropped the catch. He left no stone unturned to express his anger on the field itself. Rohit was seen shaking his hands in anger and muttering something.

The catch dropped by Rishabh Pant belonged to Australian captain Mitchell Marsh. When Mitchell Marsh could not even open his account, Jasprit Bumrah hit a bouncer. Mitchell Marsh tried to pull this bouncer. However, his shot was out of control. Mitchell Marsh could barely put the bat on the ball. The ball hit his bat and reached short fine leg. There was no fielder, but wicketkeeper Pant could easily reach the distance where the ball was.
Rohit Sharma abused Rishabh Pant. You can score runs in irrelevant matches but you can’t get respect like Zavirat Kohli. pic.twitter.com/rMFVfv3VKx
