During the 2023 World Cup match between India and Pakistan on Saturday, October 14, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma showed their frustration when the star Indian wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan took his time before assuming the batting position.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma decided to address the matter with the on-field umpire, while Virat Kohli opted for a different approach to express his dissatisfaction. Kohli made a hand gesture, mimicking the act of checking a wristwatch and directed it toward Rizwan.
This incident occurred in the 13th over after Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq was dismissed by Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Mohammad Rizwan entered the field as the fourth batsman and took a considerable amount of time to prepare, marking his guard and getting into his stance. Meanwhile, the Indian fielders and the bowler, Hardik Pandya had been prepared and waiting for him for a significant duration during that moment.
In the match, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. Indian bowlers are doing a great job in this match and half of the Pakistan team is inside the dressing room.
The match is crucial for both the teams as a win here will almost seal the place in the semi-finals. Both India and Pakistan have won their first two matches and they are looking well settled with their batting and bowling.
