Yes the WT20 is over.  But there is no need for an intl player or a captain to reveal each & every thing in an interview & unnecessarily earn the reputation of a fraudster at the global stage.   This is immaturity of highest order.  

Rohit is really a dump person

Phuckin @$$holes are acting like this as they couldn't win shyte for ages and when they won something they're acting so cringe and immature. The only person who should be allowed to say anything is Bumrah. He's the man who carried the team across the line on his back. Thanks to Bumrah we didn't pay the price for not selecting Jaiswal and Rinku instead of going with "seniors".

Rohit obviously said that in jest, but even if true nothing wrong in 'faking' an injury to buy your team a breather in tense situations. It's not against the law and has been done a million times in cricket and other sports. 

This may not be against the law.

But then, this is not considered to be in the true spirit of the game either.  There is a reason why no captain or player in the past ever disclosed this sort of thing publicly or even in a casual talk show.  There needs to be some level of accountability as a captain.  There is obviously a red line which one is not supposed to cross or atleast pretend to be not crossing it.                                                                                          Afghan AR (Gulbadin Naib) faked an injury during live match against BD in WT20.  But he is matured enough.  Till date he keeps saying that his injury was real.   Maulana Rizwan fakes an injury almost every match but never admits it.  Now, compare this level of maturity to that of our kaptaan.

With Rohit it feels more like Kya ukhaad logey ?

Unnecessary detail that could've been left unsaid, many apart from his nuthuggers may feel so.

Did he reveal this in that buffoon Kapil Sharma's show? 

 

Indian cricketers should be barred from any TV shows... first we got "main kar ke aaya" from Pandya and now this

Why would you do this? Pant still has a long career ahead of him, India will play more ICC events.

 

Exactly. Now you essentially have put a target on your back. Now whenever there's an injury, people will always second guess. And you lose the moral high ground whenever other teams try anything underhanded and sneaky against you, and the rationale would be "remember you guys faking injury in WT20 final".

Absolutely nothing to gain and making a joke of yourself. Match refs and umpires will always have this at the back of their mind and you can kiss any "benefit of doubt" from match officials goodbye after this. What a bunch of morons.

Nothing wrong with it and ig even South Africans will agree. Gulbadin did the same 4 games back on a more dramatic level. 

Happens in football all the time when a team has to close out a game.

Problem is not in doing it. Problem is harping on it months down the road. This happened in June and they're still going on about it. Some things are better left unsaid, and this was one of those. Absolutely no need to talk about it and they could've talked so many other things.

[jigjig]

Why would anyone reveal such a thing . How will we now blame rizwan and his antics

[Frustrated]

Just realised that no mainstream media is covering this.  Which is good.   But we at ICF are giving this full coverage. Inviting unwarranted attention of locals as well as outsiders.  Better to move this thread to chitchat or totally delete this.  LOL.

I think this trophy win has made Rohit so over confident. This cup is played every other year.There is nothing special in winning the T20 world cup.

[R!TTER]

Neither is winning the WT20 or indeed the WC - the toughest gig in cricket over the last 20+ years is beating India in India, beating Oz down under is a close second

Tell that to your hero Kohli who couldn't get his hands on any trophy as a captain. Forget WT20, he couldn't even win the tourney which happens every year (IPL)

England most recently did in the T20 series. They were close to 20 over completion as there was rain threat. Suddenly English player started changing gloves what not to delay the game. Ponting was crying about it in the commentary box

Yeah but they didn't gloat about it months from that incident. It's the gloating and airing it out in the public as if it was some sort of a once in a lifetime genius move.

Besides it is pure assumption that he got out because of that. If only "delaying things" gets you wickets you will get a wicket  at every break. When i watched it live it didn't even cross my mind that break would give us a wicket. Because it is just a theory that commies like to say it on the air with no real basis.
