Afghanistan's cricketer Karim Janat expressed a strong opinion on the controversial double Super Over during the third T20I between India and Afghanistan. Janat, who participated in the match, argued that Rohit Sharma should not have been allowed to bat again, stating that according to the rules, a player cannot return to bat after being retired out. The confusion arose when Rohit voluntarily stepped aside before the final ball of the Super Over, leading to a debate over his status—whether retired out or retired hurt.
Janat revealed that Afghanistan's management discussed the matter with the umpires, emphasizing that they were later informed that Rohit shouldn't have been allowed to return to the crease. Despite the controversy, Janat acknowledged that there is little they can do now as the events have transpired. Afghanistan's coach, Jonathan Trott, also hinted at the lack of clarity in communication during the episode.
Additionally, Janat addressed a brief controversy involving Mohammad Nabi during the Super Over, where Nabi ran three byes off a deflection and Rohit Sharma expressed his disagreement. Janat clarified that it was a misunderstanding, and Nabi wasn't at fault.
Karim Janat shared these insights during an interaction on the sidelines of the DP World International League T20 (ILT20) in the UAE, where he represents the Gulf Giants. Janat expressed excitement about his first season in the ILT20, aiming to help the Giants defend their title.
