Playing down the on-field controversy round a second in the course of the first tremendous over of the pulsating third T20I towards Afghanistan on the Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru on Wednesday, India head coach Rahul Dravid known as it a “part of the game”. India skipper Rohit Sharma was seen remonstrating with an on-field umpire after Afghan all-rounder Mohammed Nabi ran byes off a deflected throw in the course of the first tremendous over of the T20I on Wednesday. That second was one in every of many who made the nail-biting contest one for the ages. The hosts, nonetheless, survived a mighty scare from the guests to seal the competition within the second tremendous over and guarantee a sequence sweep. Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz ran byes after Sanju Samson’s throw struck the previous and deflected off him to the outfield.

Giving his tackle the incident, Dravid stated, “It is fine. It is part of the game. Sometimes you get frustrated that it happens, but it’s fair enough, all part of the game. It hit the non-striker and then it moved and I think that’s fine and you can run for those.”

Dravid went on to match the incident with an occasion that happened in the course of the first T20I of the sequence when the hosts picked up a run in the same state of affairs.

“In the first T20, I think there was an incident where the ball hit the bat of one of our batsmen and we took a run as well. So I think there is nothing to read into it and I don’t think nothing in the rules that stops you from actually taking those runs,” Dravid stated.

“Arguments can happen at the end of tight games. I think when you play for your country, there is so much passion and emotion and I think it is incredible that even in dead rubber games when it gets down to the wire, the competitiveness and passion come out. As long as it doesn’t cross the line, and that’s why we have match referees to look at these things,” Dravid added.

Rohit was fairly animated after Afghanistan determined to take a run after the ball struck the participant. Even Virat Kohli identified that the ball had struck Nabi.

Dravid opined that such a show of feelings was regular and stated, “Sometimes a little bit of that passion and emotion is really important. It shows how much the players care.”

Coming to the match, Afghanistan managed to match India’s 212 with a collective efficiency. The match went to tremendous over which noticed the primary one ending on stage phrases forcing the sport to maneuver to the second.

Rohit’s spectacular strikes and Ravi Bishnoi’s composure with the ball helped India clinch the victory.
