The incident unfolded in the 6th over of India's chase.
A horrible mix-up between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill resulted in the former’s run out during the first India versus Afghanistan ODI in Dharamsala on Saturday (June 13).
On the fourth ball of the 6th over, Rohit nudged a delivery from Allah Ghazanfar toward mid-wicket and immediately called for a single.
Gill initially took a few steps forward but then aborted the run, sending his partner back. Rohit was already well past the halfway mark, leaving him with no time to return. Rashid Khan swooped in on the ball at mid-wicket, firing it to the keeper to easily remove the bails.
Rohit was clearly fuming and disappointed as he walked off after scoring 16 off 16 balls with two fours and one six.
On commentary, former India cricketer Murali Kartik labeled the run out as a "complete misunderstanding" between the two.
Here’s the video:
After Rohit’s dismissal, Gill carried on and went on to slam a 37-ball half-century. At the time of writing, the Indian captain was batting on 78*, with the hosts needing 36 more runs in 27 balls to win the rain-curtailed 25 overs per side match.
Earlier, Rahmanullah Gurbaz wrote himself into the history books with a sensational 48-ball century at the HPCA Stadium. The blistering knock became the fastest ODI century ever by an Afghanistan player and stands as the second-fastest century scored against India in the 50-over format.
Despite the visitors slumping to 26/3 inside the first powerplay, Gurbaz took the Indian bowling attack to the cleaners. The wicketkeeper-batter went on to smash 102 off 51 balls with 8 fours and as many sixes before being dismissed, propelling Afghanistan to 194/10 in 24.5 overs.
