India were awarded five runs even before the first ball was bowled in the third and final ODI of the series in Chennai. Asked to chase the target of 219, India kicked off their innings with 5/0. The viewers were surprised to see five runs already added to India’s tally. And Afghanistan are to be blamed for this. Afghanistan were penalised for their captain’s on-field act. The umpires had already warned Hashmatullah Shahidi against running on the protected area. A second breach resulted in India being awarded 5 runs. Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal kicked off the proceedings for the Men in Blue.
