Rohit Sharma's return in second Super Over sparks debate: Right or Wrong? Editorji explains

Indian captain Rohit Sharma played a pivotal role in the nail-biting finish, first with his record-setting 5th T20I century and then by scoring vital runs in both Super Overs, leading India to a series-clinching whitewash in Bangalore.

However, Rohit Sharma's participation in the second Super Over sparked debate and raised questions about the rules governing player eligibility in such scenarios.

The drama unfolded as follows: In the first Super Over, with Rohit as the top scorer, he paired up with Jaiswal. Before the final delivery, requiring two runs for victory, Rohit retired himself out, making way for Rinku Singh. The match then proceeded to a second Super Over, where Rohit reappeared to bat alongside Rinku.

The MCC playing conditions state that a batter who retires due to illness, injury, or other unavoidable reasons can resume their innings and be listed as ‘Retired – not out’ if they do not return. However, if a batter retires for reasons other than those specified, they may only resume their innings with the opposition captain's consent, and failing to resume would result in being ‘Retired – out’.

In the event of a tied Super Over, as per ICC Playing Conditions, "Any batsman dismissed in any previous Super Over shall be ineligible to bat in any subsequent Super Over." This rule leads to ambiguity in Rohit's case. Match officials have yet to clarify whether Rohit was 'retired out' or 'retired hurt'. If it's the latter, he would be eligible to bat again, as he was not dismissed in the first Super Over.
