Dube, who had earlier scored a fifty, couldn’t take the field, and when Rana took the England skipper’s catch, the visiting camp looked angry. Buttler was miffed and said something about Harshit in the dugout. He also refused to accept him as a like-to-like replacement in the post-match press conference. He called the young player a pacer while highlighting that Shivam was playing primarily as a batter.
Former and current England players are furious with the umpires for allowing Harshit Rana as a concussion substitute for Shivam Dube in the fourth T20I in Pune. Dube, who plays as a batter, took a blow on the helmet in the final over of the team’s innings. He suffered a concussion, and the decision-makers allowed India to bring in Rana, who ended up taking three wickets as the hosts registered a 15-run victory to clinch the series.
