Watch: Be**nch*d! Rohit Sharma abuses Rishabh Pant and badly scolds youngster for not attempting catch

India Rohit Sharma wasn't impressed with his keeper Rishabh Pant in the ongoing game against Australia in the T20 World 2024. The Super 8 game of the tournament between the teams is underway at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium at Gros Islet in St Lucia. 

After India posted a gigantic total of 205 rums on the board, Arshdeep Singh made sure that he took his team off to a flying start with the ball. The left-arm pacer removed David Warner for 6 runs in the opening over, giving joy to the fans. 

In the very next over, Jasprit Bumrah complimented him well and also had an opportunity to take the wicket but the chance was messed up by the keeper-batter Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.

During the 4th ball of the second over, Jasprit Bumrah bowled a delivery on a length that climbed up scarily onto Mitchell Marsh on the body. The batter got in an awkward position to play the pull and gloved it to the left of Pant. 

It seemed that it would be an easy catch for Rishabh Pant and India would get their second wicket. But this wasn't the case as the keeper seemed to have just lost his footing and slipped a bit. That is what stopped him from fully committing towards a catch and the ball landed in a safe area. 

Watching Rishabh Pant making a mess of the catch, India captain Rohit Sharma was furious as he almost was certain that he got the second wicket inside two overs. But as he saw the catch falling in no man's land, he was livid with the effort and went on to abuse and scold keeper-batter.

The drop of Mitchell Marsh proved out to be costly for India as the Australia skipper has gone to play a brutal innings with the bat. He has taken attack to the bowlers and has slammed them all over the park. With the way he is looking, he looks all set for a big total.

Rohit Sharma shines with the bat as India posts 205 runs on board 

India had a sensational start with the bat in the game against Australia. The main man behind that was skipper Rohit Sharma. The opening batter came out all guns blazing and made sure that he put the Australia team under pressure right from the start. 

Rohit Sharma scored 92 runs off 41 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 224 and hit 7 fours and 8 sixes. After he got out, Suryakumar Yadav played a decent inning of 31 runs before Shivam Dube (28) also chipped in with a valiant hand. 

In the end, it was Hardik Pandya, who made sure yet India finished the innings on high. The all-rounder scored 27 runs off just 17 balls as India ended with a total of 205 runs at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium at Gros Islet in St Lucia.
