India played its first match in the Super-8 against Afghanistan in Barbados. In this match, Team India performed very well and defeated Afghanistan by a huge margin of 47 runs. Indian players showed their strength in all three departments - batting, bowling and fielding. During Afghanistan's innings, Gulbadin Naib got caught in an attempt to hit a big shot on Kuldeep Yadav's ball and the ball went in the air.

Rishabh Pant caught it, despite this, captain Rohit Sharma got angry at him and asked him to stay away instead of celebrating.

Why did Rohit get angry at Pant?

Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. The Indian team batted first and scored 181 runs. When the Afghanistan team came out to chase it, India took 3 wickets in the powerplay itself. After this, Gulbadin Naib along with Azmatullah Omarzai handled the innings. Then in the 11th over, Naib hit Kuldeep Yadav's ball in the air in an attempt to score runs quickly and Pant ran 18 meters and caught the ball in his gloves.

When Pant wanted to celebrate with Rohit, he refused in anger. Actually, this catch was Rohit's, he was already standing there, but when Pant called him, he stopped. After the catch was completed, he scolded Pant for this mistake.
