Bandon Mein Tha Dum: Just ahead of India Tour of England, Tim Paine hits Rohit Sharma and Indian Cricketers ‘SELFISH’, check why?

Before the third Test of the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar series, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, and Navdeep Saini were seen at a restaurant after the win in Melbourne. The players were subjected to intense scrutiny for breaking bio-bubble norms and putting the entire series at risk.

Speaking about the incident on Voot Select’s docu-series ‘Bandon Me Tha Dum‘, then Australian Tim Paine expressed his disappointment and lashed out at Rohit Sharma and Co. He said, “I mean those four or five guys put the whole Test series at risk. For what? For a bowl of Nando’s chips or wherever they went, like I just find that pretty selfish to be honest. 4-5 Guys Put Whole Test Series At Risk”

Pacer Pat Cummins, who later succeeded Tim Paine, also spoke about how some members of the Australian team were annoyed with many having missed Christmas just days before.

“It did annoy quite a few of the boys, especially the ones who had to spend a Christmas without their families. That was sacrificing quite a bit to be there on the tour to hear that the other team were flouting the rules and not taking it seriously,” said Cummins.

The incident meant that players were put into hard quarantine once again. After staying indoors in their hotel, the said players tested negative for COVID-19 and hence were available for the third Test in Sydney.

Ajinkya Rahane meanwhile suggested that it was the Australian mind games at work and how the news was completely wrong of Indian stars breaking Covid rules.

Rahane said, “The players who appeared in the pictures were actually waiting for their takeaway order. Due to bad weather, they had to wait inside. The story that appeared in the news was really wrong. The Australian cricket board said that when you will go to Sydney from Melbourne, no one can come out of the hotel and you have to undergo quarantine.”

He added, “The outside world, especially in Sydney, everything was normal. There was no lockdown, everyone was allowed to move around and the players were asked to stay indoors. We knew that Australia have started to play mind games, especially after what happened in Melbourne.”

Speaking about the same, Mohammed Siraj said: “Had we lost the 2nd Test, then that would not have happened. After making a comeback from being 36 all out, they were caught off-guard. They suddenly re-introduced quarantine.”
