SL vs IND | Twitter reacts to Gill's brilliant review assist to Rohit shut down Asitha's exaggerated celebration
It's very important to know one's foot is, a view expressed by Rohit Sharma ahead of India’s T20 World Cup triumph. Certainly, Asitha Fernando of Sri Lanka wasn’t self-aware of his actions as his over-celebration after a possible chance to get Rohit out was embarrassed by a brilliant Indian review.
Eyeing to earn their first win in the ongoing bilateral series, Sri Lanka’s decision to field first under overhead conditions backfired when the Indian bowlers maintained discipline and reduced them to 101/5 in 27 overs. However, Dunith Wellalage’s outstanding 67* coupled with handy lower-order contributions helped Sri Lanka propel to a score of 230/8 in 50 overs. In an attempt to earn an early breakthrough, Asitha Fernando almost created a chance to get rid of the opposition skipper before a review silenced his exaggerated celebration.
With a couple of fours and a six by the second over, Asitha came over the wicket and bowled a good length delivery around the off stump. Rohit tried to clip it across the line but got beaten on the inside edge due to the hint of inward seam movement. As the white rock thudded the pad, the onfield umpire acknowledged the Sri Lankan appeal and raised the finger. Subsequently, the bowler was fired up in his exaggerated celebration before Gill had a mini discussion with Rohit and decided to challenge the onfield decision. The TV umpire’s replay confirmed that the ball was missing the stumps due to height, offering the 37-year-old a crucial survival.
Seeing Asitha’s over-celebration get silenced in a matter of moments, the Twitterverse abuzzed.
