TheT20I match between India and Afghanistan ended in a tie, prompting a Super Over, but even that didn't settle the score as it turned into another tie. The real head-scratcher came when Afghanistan raised an issue with the umpires. The side was clearly not happy about Rohit Sharma getting a chance to bat again in the second Super Over. As per the laws of the game, Rohit was well within his rights to bat again since he hadn't been dismissed in the first place and was retired hurt.
