Rohit Sharma’s Contentious Second Super Over Against Afghanistan

India needed two Super Overs to complete a whitewash against Afghanistan in the T20I series.

Though, there was a bone of contention around India captain Rohit Sharma.

With one ball left in the first Super Over, Rinku Singh replaced Rohit.

The India skipper retired himself to bring in Rinku as his substitute.

A row erupted after Rohit padded up to come down to bat again in the second over.

A look into the ICC's guidelines for T20Is can offer some insights.

It says a batter dismissed in a Super Over shall be ineligible to bat in subsequent Super Over.

So, if Rohit was retired ‘out’, he couldn’t have batted for the second time.

Rohit was eligible to bat again had he retired hurt.

The match officials have not yet confirmed whether Rohit retired out or retired hurt.
