Indian batters Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma got engaged in a heated argument after miscommunication led to the former’s departure in the first T20I. The Indian side travelled to Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street to lock horns with England in the first of the five-game series against the Harry Brook-led side. Coming off a depressing loss to Ireland in their recently-concluded two-game series, the Men in Blue were desperately seeking a win. However, as they opted to bat first, the Shreyas Iyer-led lost their first two wickets in the first two overs.

After losing opener Sanju Samson at yet another disappointing score of 1 run, the side lost Kishan in yet another run out. On the last ball of the second over, Kishan and Sharma got engaged in a mix-up, which ultimately forced him to walk back to the hut on a two-ball duck. Needless to say, the batter who recently acquired the top spot in ICC’s latest T20I batting rankings, was left disappointed and got engaged in a heated argument with his teammate and fellow batter.
