India National Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma lost his cool on Harshit Rana after his unnecessary smartness helped the England National Cricket Team get four runs in the ongoing second ODI match at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Thursday (February 9).
The incident unfolded on the fifth delivery of the 32nd over when Harshit Rana spoiled his great over, as the young pace sensation made the blunder by gifting England four runs after four dot balls. However, Rana finished his over with another dot ball against Buttler.
Drama unfolds in Cuttack, as Harshit Rana's costly mistake leaves Rohit Sharma furious
Well, Harshit Rana's solid over took an unfortunate turn when Jos Buttler turned a simple defensive shot into four runs. Buttler tapped the ball to the left of the bowler and slightly stepped out of his crease. However, Rana managed to collect the ball in his follow-through, but he made a wild throw at the stumps, but missed the stumps and the ball went past the Indian wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul for the boundary.
This unnecessary throw raced to the boundary, gifting England four unexpected runs. After which, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya looked visibly fumed by the slip-up. Rohit also shouted "Dimag kidhar hai tera?" in anger.

Ben Duckett and Joe Root lead England's charge in the Cuttack ODI
Speaking about the ongoing match, England batters look in great touch with Ben Duckett and Joe Root already smashing stunning fifties against India in the ongoing second ODI in Cuttack. After an 81-run opening partnership between Duckett (65) and Phil Salt (26), Joe Root and Harry Brook (31) added 66 runs for the third wicket to put England in a commanding position against India.
After Brook’s wicket, Root and Buttler added 51 runs for the fourth wicket before the England captain departed for 34 runs off 35 balls in the ongoing second ODI in Cuttack. Hardik Pandya delivered a crucial breakthrough for India by dismissing Jos Buttler at a critical moment in the match.
Pandya's clever slower full delivery on the middle stump trapped Buttler, as the England captain, who was looking dangerous, tried to play a bold shot over wide mid-off but misjudged the elevation and failed to clear the infield. Shubman Gill, who was stationed at mid-off, made an impressive diving catch to his left and grabbed the ball cleanly.
Currently, England’s score reads 239/4 after 40 overs, with Harshit, Hardik, Varun Chakravarthy, and Ravindra Jadeja each taking one wicket so far in the ongoing match.
