Rohit Sharma shouts at Shubman Gill for getting him runout

The incident unfolded during the opening over of India's innings when a full ball was driven to mid-off by Rohit Sharma. The Indian captain, recognizing an opportunity for a quick single, called for it. However, the miscommunication occurred as Gill was focused on the ball and failed to notice Rohit's call. 

This resulted in both players ending up at the same end, making it an easy runout for the opposition wicketkeeper after receiving the throw.

Rohit Sharma, visibly frustrated by the missed opportunity and the subsequent runout, gesticulated towards the young batsman before making his way back to the pavilion. It's worth noting that there was a potential single in the play, especially considering Rohit's comfortable run to the danger end. 

However, the unfortunate miscommunication and lack of awareness on Gill's part led to the dismissal, leaving both players visibly disappointed.

Meanwhile, Shubman Gill didn't stay in the middle for a long time as he was dismissed by Mujeeb Ur Rahman for 23 off 12 balls in the fourth over.
