Rohit Sharma Inzamam Ul Haq T20 World Cup 2024: The 9th T20 World Cup series in USA and West Indies started from last 2nd and is going on briskly. India, Afghanistan, England and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals in this series which is nearing the final stage.
In this case, India faced Australia in their last match in the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup series. Captain Rohit, who batted first for the Indian team, scored an amazing 92 runs. As a result, the Indian team scored 205 runs for the loss of 5 wickets at the end of 20 overs.
Subsequently, the Australian team, who played towards the victory target of 206 runs, lost 7 wickets and scored only 181 runs at the end of 20 overs. With this, the Indian team defeated the Australian team by 24 runs and advanced to the semi-finals. With this defeat, Australia crashed out of the Super 8 series.
An infamous accusation
In this case, former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq made a sensational allegation that the Indian players tampered with the ball during the match between India and Australia. Speaking in this regard, he said, “When Arshdeep Singh bowled the 15th over, you cannot ignore the fact that the ball was reverse-swinging. How can a new ball reverse swing so quickly?
In the 12th-13th over, the ball was ready to reverse swing. That’s why I say match judges should keep their eyes open. We also know a bit about reverse swing. If Arshdeep Singh can reverse swing the ball, then something suspicious has been done on the ball.
The thing about reverse swing is that Bumrah can do it. Because such is his bowling action. I can understand that. The ball should be positioned in such a way that it adapts to the reverse swing. I can understand that maybe the ball was over hit and the pitch was like that. The ball may have been hit after hitting around the stands. But whatever happens, the umpires should have kept a close watch,” Inzamam had said.
Retaliate
In this situation, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has given a befitting reply to Inzamam-ul-Haq’s reverse swing allegations. India captain Rohit Sharma was asked about Inzamam’s remarks at a press conference ahead of the India-England 2nd semi-final in Guyana on Thursday at 8 pm.
He then retorted, “The pitch is hot here because of the sun. So the pitches are dry. So I ask, if the ball doesn’t reverse swing here, where does it reverse swing? We’re not playing in England or South Africa.”
