Arshdeep Singh was the top bowler once again in the match against the Australia, picking up three wickets from his quota of 4 overs.
However, following the win, former Pakistan skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq accused Arshdeep of ball-tampering.
What had happened was Arshdeep managed to bowl reverse swing around the 15th over mark to which Inzamam hinted foul play.
During the pre-match press conference today, Rohit was inquired of the same by a journalist.
Responding to the allegations, Rohit said, “What can I say about this. You are playing in hot conditions, the wicekt is dry and the ball reverses itself. Every team is doing reverse swing, not just India alone. One should keep an open mind and understand the conditions in which the game is being played. This is not England or Australia. That’s what I’ll say.”
