T20 World Cup: India's Rohit Sharma and Pakistan's Inzamam Ul Haq
Ahead of the India vs England T20 World Cup semi-final, an extreme accusation from Pakistan great Inzamam ul Haq went viral. On his target was Indian cricket team pace bowler Arshdeep Singh and the former Pakistan captain claimed that Arshdeep Singh was getting reverse swing due to some 'serious work' on the ball. Indirectly, he meant that Arshdeep was unfairly tampering with the ball, which is a punishable offense by the ICC
Speaking to a Pakistani news channel, Inzamam accused Arshdeep and the Indian side of working on the ball, which helped the lanky pacer generate a reverse swing in his second spell.
"When Arshdeep was bowling the 15th over, it was reverse swinging. Is that too early with the new ball? This means the ball was ready by the 12th-13th over, capable of reversing. It was reverse-swinging in the 15th. Umpires need to keep their eyes open," Inzamam told the news channel.
Rohit was asked about Inzamam's comment in the pre-match media interaction here and dismissed it, advising the former batter to have an open mind.
Abhi kya jawab du iska mein bhai (what answer should I give, brother). Wickets are so dry (here) as you are playing in sunny weather. All teams are getting reversed (swing). Sometimes dimaag ko kholna zaroori hai (Need to open your mind). You need to understand what the conditions are. This is not Australia or England. That's what I will say," Rohit said when asked to respond to Inzamam's observation.

India defeated 2021 T20 World Cup champions Australia by 24 runs in Gros Islet on Monday to set up a semifinal clash against England with left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh grabbing three wickets to halt the Kangaroos' charge in the chase of 205.
India scored 205 batting first and then restricted Australia to 181/7.
Australia was in the game and required 81 runs in eight overs with eight wickets in hand. But they lost the plot during Arshdeep's second spell, which fetched him two wickets in the 16th and 18th overs
