Indian captain Rohit Sharma was furious with KL Rahul and Axar Patel after the Men in Blue failed to take Joe Root's wicket during the second One-Day International against England on Sunday (February 9) at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
When a strong start from Phil Salt and Ben Duckett, Joe Root ensured that England had a solid foundation for a huge score when Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bat first. However, the umpire and the Indian team granted Root a major reprieve after Axar trapped him in front of the stumps.
On the second delivery of the 25th over, Root attempted to sweep Axar but missed the ball, which struck him on the pad. Despite a vociferous appeal from the Indian team, the on-field umpire ruled the England batting great not out. Indian captain Rohit decided against a review when both wicketkeeper Rahul and the bowler were undecided.
Seeing three reds flashing on the giant screen as the replays were seen, Rohit fumed at Rahul for failing to catch the trajectory of the ball. Even the wicket-keeper had his hands on his head, as he realised that a big opportunity went begging.
