‘Ashwin Anna saath na hoke bhi bahut kuch kar gaye’ – X reacts hilariously after Rahul Dravid’s statement on Rohit Sharma’s ‘Retired Out’ controversy

India captain Rohit Sharma produced the performance of a lifetime in the third T20I of the 3-match series against Afghanistan on Wednesday. Rohit’s unbeaten knock of 121 runs laid the foundation of a thrilling clash that found its result after two Super Overs. While Rohit deservedly earned praise from fans on social media, a decision of his in the first Super Over did trigger a huge debate.
With India needing 2 runs to win from the final ball of the first eliminator, Rohit decided to walk out, paving the way for Rinku Singh to replace him at the non-striker’s end. But, it wasn’t clarified whether he retired hurt or retired out.
Rahul Dravid reacts to ‘Retired Out’ controversy:
In an interaction with the broadcasters, Indian coach Rahul Dravid said, “Taking himself out was Ashwin-level thinking. That’s Ash-level thinking,”
Dravid was hinting at an IPL innings of Ravichandran Ashwin he retired himself out in order to enhance the flow of Twitter.
Meanwhile, Law 25.4.2 of the MCC quoted by Firstpost, notes, “If a batter retires because of illness, injury or any other unavoidable cause, that batter is entitled to resume his/her innings. If for any reason this does not happen, that batter is to be recorded as ‘Retired – not out’,” says Law 25.4.2 of the MCC.
Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Rohit himself was overwhelmed having come out to bat three times in the match.
“I don’t remember when was the last time this happened. I think I batted 3 times in one of the IPL games,” he said.
“Creating the partnership was important and we (Rinku and I) kept talking to each other to not lose that intent in big games and it was a good game for us to be in, the pressure was there and was important to bat long and deep and not compromise on the intent we want to show.” Afghanistan skipper Ibrahim Zadran was pleased with his team’s effort on the night,” he added.

[…] “There are two sides to this story. If we are the affected party on the field, we will get very irritated with whatever happens. We might not have done this if we were on the field. That is our personal opinion and view. As an Indian cricket fan, I can say this. Tomorrow, if we are facing a Super Over in the World Cup knockout match, and when it is one ball, two runs to win. The wicketkeeper’s throw deflects off our glove, we will also run. How can a player not run?” Said Ashwin. […]
