Even Virat Kohli, who stopped the ball after the deflection, pointed at legs, signalling that Nabi should not have taken the extra double because the ball had hit him.
Former India cricketer, Aakash Chopra urged that the Males in Blue wasn’t proper in arguing for that recreation of play during which the participant ran two further runs.
“A bye was taken off the final ball. Sanju Samson threw the ball, it hit Nabi’s leg they usually ran two further runs. One was accessible and India gave one as a result of they had been complaining concerning the spirit of the sport. India had been unsuitable in complaining. You may have restricted them to 2 runs and also you conceded a 3rd identical to that,” he mentioned on his YouTube channel.
The cricketer-turned-commentator additional gave an instance of a World Cup ultimate to elucidate his assertion.
“My query is, assuming had it been the final ball of a World Cup ultimate and the additional run you had been getting after the ball hit the pads was deciding the match, would anybody not run there? Would anybody be able to lose the World Cup by not taking that run as a result of it’s ethically incorrect? Everybody would have run,” the previous India opener defined.
The additional double did not value the Indian staff a lot as Rohit Sharma’s males received the competition within the second Tremendous Over after the primary one was tied.
