Sun Feb 09 21:04:16 UTC 2025: ## Rohit Sharma’s Anger Erupts After Young Pacer’s Costly Error in India-England ODI
**Cuttack, India:** India’s captain Rohit Sharma publicly reprimanded young pacer Harshit Rana during the second ODI against England at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. The outburst followed a costly overthrow that conceded four runs.
The incident unfolded in the 32nd over. Rana, after bowling four consecutive dot balls to Jos Buttler, attempted a run-out but wildly missed the stumps. The throw sailed past wicketkeeper KL Rahul, resulting in four overthrows.
Sharma’s frustration was evident, with the captain reportedly yelling at Rana, “Where is your brain?” Former England cricketer Graeme Swann, commentating on the match, attributed the error to Rana’s aggression getting the better of him. Former India coach Ravi Shastri echoed the sentiment, noting Sharma’s visible anger and highlighting the impact of such errors on match pressure.
The match itself saw several changes to both teams’ lineups. England made three changes, bringing in Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Overton, while India welcomed back Virat Kohli after his injury absence, replacing Yashasvi Jaiswal. Varun Chakaravarthy made his ODI debut for India. The toss was won by England, who elected to bat first.
