You did this because we almost won the match already.. Would you have done the same if the circumstances were different..? Netizens are questioning Rohit. In the match against England women’s team in September 2022, when Charlie Dean was dismissed by Indian bowler Deepti Sharma by mankading, captain Harman Preet Kaur stood by her.
Others are reminding how low these same Sri Lankan players have stooped in the past to prevent Sehwag’s century. In the match against Sri Lanka in 2010, when Sehwag was at the crease with 99 runs, India was one run away from victory. If one run, Sehwag will complete the century and India will win. But with the evil intention of Veeru not getting a century… on the suggestion of Lankan captain Sangakkara… the bowler Suraj Randiv bowled a no ball. Although Sehwag hit a six, India won with a single due to the no ball. With India already winning.. even though he hit a six, Veeru could not score a century in his account. After the match, Sehwag accused that he bowled the noball to become a bowler. Indian fans are commenting on the sporting spirit of Sri Lankan cricketers.
Another thing is that in 2012, in the ODI against Sri Lanka at the Gabba, Ashwin was mankading Lahiru Thirimanne. Virender Sehwag, who was the captain, withdrew the appeal after discussing with Sachin.
