But Rohit Sharma happened to ignore Arshdeep. This video went viral on social media within minutes of being shared by a Twitter user. The fans were not seeming happy with the rude behavior of Rohit Sharma toward the young pacer. They took to Twitter for expressing their unhappiness with this gesture from the skipper.

At the same, fans recalled the behavior of two former skippers Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni with the young players.

So Rude by Rohit Sharma.
This attitude of Captain over team players won't do any good for Team India.

Discussing furthermore the match between the Indians and Sri Lanka, then the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma played a very good knock of 72 runs off 41 runs with five boundaries and four sixes to his name. Other than him, Suryakumar Yadav scored 34 runs off 29 balls. With the help of these few knocks, India scored 173 runs losing eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Dilshan Madhushanka ended up as the highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka with three scalps on his credit.

While chasing the target, the opening pair of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis provided a very strong start to the Sri Lankan team. They both made a partnership of 97 runs for the first wicket in 11.1 overs. Nissanka and Mendis scored individual half-centuries with scores of 52 and 57 respectively.

Apart from these, the finishing knock of 33 runs off just 18 balls from the skipper Dasun Shanaka helped Sri Lanka to chase down the target in 19.5 overs with six wickets and one ball to spare.
