Team India skipper was visibly frustrated with the side’s young seamer Harshit Rana after the pacer conceded an unnecessary overthrow that cost the side four runs against the English side in the second ODI between the sides at Cuttack on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was hasty to give away extra runs on an overthrow and the Indian captain, who was displeased with Rana’s action, exclaimed ‘Dhimaag Kahan Hai Tera’ (Where’s your brain)?
England won the toss and opted to have a bat first and opened the innings with Phil Salt and Ben Ducektt. The pair put up a 81-run stand for the first wicket before Salt was dismissed by Indian spinner Varun Chakravarthy, who was handed his ODI debut on the day, as Ravindra Jedaja remained calm to collect the Englishman’s catch. Slat had added 26 runs off 29 deliveries before he was sent back to the hut.
Duckett was next to go as Jadeja turned wicket-taker. Hardik Pandya held onto the catching opportunity offered up by Duckett after having added 65 runs off 56 balls.
Rana got in on the action as he got rid of Harry Brook thanks to Shubman Gill’s incredible catch as he ensured that the ball would end up safely in his hands following an incredible effort to run towards the ball and deal with the catch with aplomb. Brook, who faced 52 deliveries chipped in with 31 runs before taking the long walk back to the dressing room.
