Coach Gautam Gambhir surprised everyone online with his reaction after the heated moment in the T20 World Cup final between Arshdeep and Mitchell.
During the match, Arshdeep's throw accidentally hit Daryl Mitchell. This brief moment heated things between the two players.
After the ball hit Daryl Mitchell, he was visibly frustrated and shouted at Arshdeep and charged towards him. Surya quickly went and apologised, and eased the environment.
"I went to say sorry to Mitchell. My throw reverse-swung a bit too much, and it hit his body, so I told him that I didn't hit him intentionally," said Arshdeep during the post-match presentation.
"You are representing your country, and you are bound to show aggression. There's nothing wrong with it. Even if you throw the ball back, that's completely alright. No bowler in this world wants to be hit for two sixes, and that is the kind of response I want to see from my players. I would have been fine even if Arshdeep had not apologised to Mitchell," Gambhir told ANI.
“There was no need to say sorry. It's good on him that he apologised, but on a cricket field, there are no friends and no enemies. Your job is simply to win games for your country,” he added.
Arshdeep was found guilty of breaching Article 2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel. This article concerns "throwing a ball (or any other cricket equipment) at or near a player in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match."
